Any one heard of post abortion syndrome?

Question

OK I KNOW THIS IS IN THE PARENTING AND PREGNANCY SECTION BUT I NEED HELP WITH THIS TOPIC. ANY ONE SUFFER> IT IS LIKE PTSS.

Answer 1

Yes I have. Unfortunetly. It's not actually considered real yet, by some, LOL. Who are they to tell you how you should feel afterwards. Unfortunetly, the syndrome has caused a lot of arguments, and both sides - pro choice and pro life are using it to make an argument about whether abortion should be legal. The fact is, no matter what you call it, there are real feelings afterwards. No one can say what choice is right, I don't believe. But it's just silly thinking some women don't need some help coping afterwards.


There is a lot of support out there though. I have listed some sites for you to check out. It's a difficult time, and I would like to tell you it gets easier... for some people it does. For me, it has been a struggle, and it's been 10 years.

Answer 2

I've heard of it and think it's a lot of bunk and am very glad it's not considered a real syndrome. I believe that it is a result of all the hatred towards women and their choices in this world. So many people hate women and are out to make women who've had abortions feel bad for it. As you can see from the answerers already we have 'oh I have that problem because I had and abortion and abortion is morally wrong' Now, if that answerer didn't buy into all the mysogynist crap out there and realised abortion is not morally wrong, I doubt she'd feel bad at all.

I also believe that it's something made up by pro-lifers, mysogynists and Christians to discourage and scare women away from having abortions. We all know there's a lot of that propaganda going around. Remember the whole 'abortion causes breast cancer' lie? Actually, just do a google search for any pro-life or anti-abortion website.

I can tell you that after a pregnancy is terminated horomone levels drop and there may be mood swings but, none of this is a result of post abortion syndrome. It's normal to feel a little off or down at this point and that's when the women haters and anti-abortionists move in for the kill. That's when they spread their hate and call out baby killer. They hit women when they are down. This abuse causes this syndrome. This syndrome is a mask. They call it post abortion syndrome to pretend that the abortion caused it instead of the blatant hatred spread by mysogynists, pro-lifers and many so called Christians.

Every women who has an abortion DOES NOT fall into this mess of self hatred. I had an abortion. I'm not sorry. I know I did the right thing but, I do feel sorry for the women who fall for the lies and the mysogynists who make this world such a terrible place.

Answer 3

Ok, I am not sure I get you but I do know a bit about this subject. I used to work in an anti abortion clinic. I am now pro-choice but back then in college all I could see was the baby not the mother. While working with mothers after abortions here is what I found:
depression (badly)
fear (of the future)
loss and grief (for the baby they lost)
some with internal problems like infections, and others that could no longer bear children in the future. Depending on how the abortion is done will determine whether you can have a baby in the future. If the cervix or uterine lining is burned or torn by the chemicals or other parts of the procedure then the bad news can be no future pregnancy or a hard time getting pregnant. Woman would come in in tears about this subject. Only your doctor can tell you more.
The worst part was the women who would dream about the baby they lost and the years they spend thinking about their age and future birthdays. The guilt is their worst pain.
By reading books about spirituality I look at this topic differently now. The spirit that was to go to that baby goes back to heaven and will come back in another pregnancy possible your future kids. It is all a learning process and God sends out spirits here to learn and grow. If you are feeling like any of the above please read Sylvia Brownes book called : The other side and back.
It will help.

Answer 4

It is very common for someone to become depressed after an abortion.

It is pretty much the same feelings as though you miscarried of even after giving birth.
It is the body going back to "normal". It isn't easy for the body to flip flip like this.

When you get pregnant your body goes threw a lot of stress with the changes that are occurring. It is the same thing once there is no longer a pregnancy from either cases above.

The only thing that can be done is to be close to loved ones.
If the symptoms are very server consult a doctor. There are light medications or even therapy can help the suffer go threw this painful time with the less amount of stress possible.

what's "submit Abortion rigidity Syndrome?" submit Abortion rigidity Syndrome (bypass) is the call for a situation that would impact females after an abortion. reminiscent of the different situation, bypass does no longer impact each woman who has an abortion. some females who've abortions sense non violent about their selection formerly, have a soreness-loose and bodily effortless adventure, sense relieved afterwards, and then stay some thing of their lives devoid of complications or regrets. different females would have a quite some adventure, and would have a better complicated time with the actual technique itself, and the emotional and actual restoration procedure. those who're affected can locate themselves having problems with a worry-loose set of tangible or emotional subject matters.

Answer 6

I would assume it is a combination of PTSD due to the stress of wondering if you really did the right thing and PPD which would happen at the termination of a normal pregnancy. Those hormones go wild no matter how the pregnancy ends. I know I was a bit out of it after a miscarriage.

Answer 7

Well I didn't formally know of a post abortion syndrome, but I do know someone who seemed to be pretty distraught afterwards. She was in a bad mood all of the time, said she felt guilty, she was bleeding, and the fact that the killed her child really bothered her afterwards... She thought it was the right decision. I do not mean any of this to be rude, or vulgar... Sorry

Answer 8

Post abortion syndrome isnt actually what they call it medically. However, yes, I suffered from what you would refer to as PAS. Abortion is morally wrong, I had mine almost 15 years ago and every christmas I go through the phase of PAS because that was when my daughter should have been born. If I knew then what I know now...I would NEVER have killed that baby.

Answer 9

Every woman I have met who has had an abortion goes through it. It's basically PTSD, major depression, and suicidal thoughts all together from one procedure that is supposed to solve problems, not create new ones. Abortion doesn't do anything but destroy lives both innocent and guilty. It may be a legal right but it's morally wrong.

Answer 10

Im sure depression can follow abortion.
