What is the implication of aborting (MR) the first child (within 6 wks)? Specifically, can it be that the next child can have neuro. problem or epilepsy because of that?

No, as the others have said. What will be effected is you when you look back in 20 years and count your children. You will always think of that 'one'.
If I could go back and change what happened I would. I was 15 and doing what my parents wanted, but it was a mistake, one I can't change, one I have to live with. I don't wish that particular regret and pain on anyone. I have 2 grown children now, I would rather be able to tell you I have 3.

Actually, abortions are safer for the mothers than taking a pregnancy to term. They are fairly simple and quick procedures, and childbearing is certainly neither.
There is an emotional aspect, as several people have mentioned. However, just because some experience tremendous guilt and grief does not mean that everyone, or even most, do. In fact, the most common emotion mentioned after abortions is relief. Several of my friends have had abortions and they all came out of it banged up emotionally, but not permanently scarred. Everyone is different, of course, but I wanted to make sure you knew that getting an abortion is not necessarily going to condemn you to a lifetime of regret.

I've never heard of any problems for a subsequent pregnancy, but, as someone else mentioned, I have heard that there is an unforeseen emotional consequence of abortion. Now, I don't know if you will experience this, and I respect your right to make your own decision, but I just wanted you to know that I've heard people say that nobody ever bothered to tell them that they would experience nightmares and overwhelming feelings of grief and guilt for the rest of their lives because of the decision not to keep their baby. I just wouldn't want you not to know that that was a possibility. Good luck to you.

No. Terminating a pregnancy does not have any effect on the future egg to be fertilized by some not yet created sperm. You cannot damage a being that does not exist.
What can happen is scarring on the tubes and other such issues which could prevent future impregnation or healthy pregnancy.

No. Those are developmental issues. You can however have difficulties getting pregnant again and or carrying a baby full term.

No. The death of one embryo/fetus (regardless of method or cause) has no impact on future pregnancies.
