Question, no judging please :( - About abortion...
Italianhuney wrote: Okay I don't know where to get answers but i am pretty scared. I'm almost 7 weeks pregnant, which i'm so thankful for. But.. back in November... i was 8 weeks pregnant and terminated it  i regret it more than anything i know what i did was wrong but now i'm scared for any complications in this pregnancy. I'm afraid of a late miscarriage or if my uterus/cervix aren't strong enough. Does anyone know anything about this?
gr33n3y3z replied: I have no clue but I'm sure you told the Dr or will tell the Dr about it.
redchief replied: I'm sorry I can't help you with information regarding possible complications after an abortion. I absolutely suggest you discuss your fears with your doctor at your first opportunity.
jcc64 replied: I have very little to offer you in the way of personal knowledge about abortions and/or subsequent pregnancies. I can tell you, though, that I have MANY friends who had abortions earlier in their lives who went on to have successful pregnancies and healthy children when they were better prepared to raise them. Hth.
amynicole21 replied: I'm sure you're ok, but it is something your doctor can discuss with you.
mckayleesmom replied: Im sure it will be fine, but I would let your doctor know so that he is aware and he will most likely let you know of any extra precautions you should take.
BTW...this isn't a jugding board. Nobody would judge you for makeing a decision that was best for you at the time. Good Luck to you.

ITA with Amy. I am sure you are ok too. Please bring your concerns up with your doctor though and please be sure to let them know of your history so they can take that into account. It's important for them to know.

Ditto. Best wishes to you.

Sweetie please don't regret anything in your life. ok? I'm sure that was the hardest decision you've ever made or will ever make, but life it way to short to live with regrets. ok? No one here judges you in anyway, and what you did was not wrong, it was just a choice that you had to make. I wish that I had advice on pregnancies after abortions, but I don't have any experience in that area. Just be happy with your current pregnancy, talk to your Dr. about your past pregnancy, and never have regrets.

I second that emotion.
Hillbilly Housewife replied: If it helps, I had an abortion when I was about 17. 2 years later, I got pg with my first, I had him when I was 20.
Now, I am just about 24, and all 3 of my children are great - no complications worth mentionning. I did have a miscarriage between 2 of my children - but my doctor assured me it had nothing to do with the abortion I had.
About your uterus not being strong enough... I don't think that's an issue. you can discuss that with your doctor, if you're worried...
As for regret - I don't think the hurt will ever go away. You just have to accept the loss as that, a loss, and mourn it... whether it was your choice or not. Go through the grief. Go through grief counselling, if you need it. Talk it over with a friend. The abortion I had was my choice to have, nobody elses' choice. It was the hardest decision I ever had to make, and I still think about it. I probably will always think about it. But then I think that if I'd went through with that pregnancy, I may never have known my children now.
Feel free to pm me if you need to talk.

Italianhuney replied: You all are THE BEST!!!!!!! I just found this post I'm still learning how to get around here lol. Thank you all sooooo so so so much for the replies they each helped me and put a smile on my face. I called my Dr. to make an appt and explained what's going on, they reassured me too that everything should be okay, but will double check everything on my first visit which isn't until 4/11. I'll be 9 weeks then, yay! I'm so excited, but i just wanted to come back here and and thank you all for giving me hope, support and comfort!!!!!!
coasterqueen replied: You are very welcome. Good luck and keep us posted.
Brias3 replied: I don't know at all specifics about this but I do know that when I miscarried after having my first, I had a D&C and was advised that pregnancy within the next six months was potentially dangerous. However, I ended up becoming pregnant (on accident) after just three months and was very worried but had a healthy baby. I'm SURE you're fine but I'd just run it past your doctor so he can be aware and you both can have an extra precautionary eye out.
Don't be regretting past decisions or let them play a role in your future. The past is just that- the past. If you need any support or encouragement, there is no better place to come than here! Best wishes 
Brias3 replied: Whoops, didn't see your latest post! Glad all is well
Continued good wishes

Kated replied: I would tell your doctor. Im sure you will be ok. Think of happy thoughts!
I wish you the best of luck and if you have told your doctor about it and he was worried I am sure things will go ok for you!

I also know someone who had an abortion and got pregnant again within months.
She had no complications and now has two very healthy boys.
No regrets, count only your blessings.
Congratulations and best of luck!
