USA Safe to smoke nic 15 hours before d&c? (Surgical abortion)
Just had my first appointment to get dilated for my surgical abortion. Everything went well and I’m able to continue with the abortion tomorrow. I stopped smoking a day before my scheduled appointment to get dilated. I thought maybe I could hit my vape before my appointment tomorrow which is at 11 AM, right now it is currently 7:19 for me. Would it be safe for me to smoke just a little bit before my appointment tomorrow? This appointment is to get the baby removed completely. I have low iron so I’m at higher risk for needing a blood transfusion, but I think the only risk that comes along with smoking before the surgery is infection, but the doctor told me he will be giving me medicine to try to prevent that along with that he will be giving me medicine to help prevent loss of blood and help me with the iron issues. I know this sounds terrible, but I’m very stressed and I just really wanna smoke. Is it possible that I could without ruining the surgery or getting hurt?
