Not really, but trust me, you should tell them. He is your doctor, and his number one priority is the safety of you and your unborn child. I had to tell mine about the abortion I had when I was 16, and they don't look down on you, they just make a note of it and move on. The safety of your baby should come before your embarassment or discomfort.

I am so tired of people who feel they need to pass judgement on other people. I do believe there is something in the bible about that -- "judge not that ye not be judged". It is up to God to pass judgement on you.
As far as your question goes, I don't think a doctor can tell. A good friend of mine had an abortion in her early 20's and then got married and decided to have a baby in her mid 20's. She told the doctor that this was her first pregnancy and they never questioned her about it. So unless you had complications from the abortion I really don't see how they could tell.

It will likely be detectable because of the change in shape of the cervical opening. After any type of dilation, be in birth, miscarraige or abortion the cervical opening changes shape. It can even be detected when having a pap test. Also, doctors must maintain confidentiality and are quite accustomed to meeting women who have had abortions. Do not be ashamed to give him or her your true health history. Plus is may be important to your care in the future.

Im not sure if they can detect it through exams, but don't hide that information from your physician. I totally understand wanting to keep that sort of thing private but the doctor is there to help you and that type of information is critical. They typically ask if its your first pregnancy when you first go in and that information is important in determining how to treat you. Depending on how many weeks you were when you had the abortion and the type of procedure used, you can have a weak cervix, etc etc. Typically all will be well, but please let your doctor know. No one else has to know.

I genuinely have RH- blood and that i'll inform you that purely because you've it does not advise that you're going to miscarry. Miscarriages ensue because of a chromosomal abnormality in both the daddy or the mummy that ought to reason the fetus to not live to inform the tale. the first well being care service you talked to replaced right into a moron and that i wish you do not plan on going back to him. i replaced into informed that i'd not want a shot till 28 weeks, notwithstanding my husband also has unfavorable blood so i do not want it in any respect. you're likely proper that you and also you're previous boyfriend were purely compared to minded. notwithstanding maximum medical doctors start up to grow to be in touch once you've had 3 or extra miscarriages. you want to get an appointment and characteristic a logical well being care service clarify the RH- aspect to you. I genuinely have in no way heard of the shot being given each 12 weeks because it would not even come into play till your 0.33 trimester. good success and get your self on medicaid or some thing in case you do not have coverage.

I believe a competent doctor would be able to tell.
Every abortion you have leaves a patch of scar tissue on the inside of your uterus. If you have too many abortions it limits the available space on the inside of the uterus and a fertilized egg can't 'find' a spot to implant.
The scar tissue is detectable via certain means, but if you lie, no doctor would specifically look...

I think your body changes once the hormones from pregnancy kick in and doctors can tell. Also depending on how the procedure was done there might be scarring or something of the kind. But from personal experience that information doesn't leave the room and the doctor won't talk about it or ask you anything else after you say yes and what date.

Technically, if the procedure was done professionally and correctly, no they wouldn't be able to tell. You can always ease your mind and just describe it as a miscarriage (which is the truth, ironically a miscarriage is called a spontaneous abortion) and leave it at that. That way they know you had a pregnancy that didn't go to full term without it being labled.

I've never heard of a doctor finding out about an abortion because it changed your body in any way. And I think it's pretty safe to say it's only possible if you tell your Doctor

The doctor can tell. No sense in hiding it because it becomes apart of your medical history. A woman's body can only handle so many abortions before you will have to have the baby.
My cousin's wife just went through that

To my understanding it is possible for the doctor to tell if you have had an abortion in the past. However, he is the only one that would know. He does not have the right to tell anyone else about your medical history. So if you don't want anyone to know you could stress the importance to him.
