How can a woman safely and successful have a natural miscarriage/abortion for an unwanted pregnancy?

Question

natural meaning without drugs or surgeries. I'm looking for herbal solutions that work

Okay thank you all you people who aren't listening. I am a very responsible person, the birth control method me and my husband were using failed and its our choice at this point. I may only be 5weeks along technically based on the 1st day of the last period and all that which means not even been pregnant for more than a couple weeks. Its stil an embryo. I know this is a sensitive subject but please spare me the insults.

Yes abortion may be wrong when it is abused but it is still a choice and decision one can make. I thought I was doing the right thing by staying away from the abortion clinics, I mean the doctors there are the ones who physically do the procedure.

And also if I didn't mention I have a 10month old daughter right now. I am not evil or mean, We aren't ready for another one just yet.

Thanks for all your wonderfully entertaining feedback. This was for socially experimental purposes only!! LMAO!

Answer 1

Don't ever attempt something as stupid as that! See a professional. It's not worth putting your life in danger. Lots of complications can occur, and it isn't worth it! Think of all the women who died or got sick when abortion wasn't legal, by doing it illegally. DO NOT endanger yourself. Women have fought for abortion rights for this very reason. See a Dr.

Answer 2

I grant that the subliterate insults you're getting are way over the top, but it's still a stupid question.

How hard is it to Google "herbal abortion"?

How hard is it to consider how hard women fought for legal abortion in no small part because the D-I-Y stuff was never safe?

It's your body, of course, but if you're silly enough to think Yahoo! Answers is going to provide you with some non-existent method that's guaranteed to work, and has a degree of safety comparable to the more usual methods, you're too silly to even be thinking about doing this sort of thing on your own.

And, "natural meaning without drugs...I'm looking for herbal solutions that work" is also plenty silly. Medicinal herbs ARE drugs.

"A drug is any substance that can be used to modify a chemical process or processes in the body, for example to treat an illness, relieve a symptom, enhance a performance or ability, or to alter states of mind..."

From a site with the information you're looking for:

"Inducing miscarriage is not worth risking your life. Don't make that mistake."

Re. "I am a very responsible person...I have a 10month old daughter right now."

You're _absurdly_ irresponsible. Give us a break, here.

Answer 3

With a 10-month old, I understand that you may not be ready to care for another baby, but for something as serious as this, I really think you should seek professional advice (talk to a doctor).

Check with your local Health Department, they may be able to give you some real advice -- not all the ignorant insults that have been hurled your way on this list.

I don't know what your financial situation is, but if you can not afford to support another child then certainly you and your husband are doing the right thing by having safe sex.

If you can't afford much in the way medical expenses, maybe you could become a sort of surrogate mother? By this, I mean, go into a contract with someone who would like to adopt your baby and pay for all the medical expenses including delivery and your recovery. A lot of people seem to be taking this route. It may be worth looking into.

Answer 4

I tried, and failed to attempt an herbal abortion. Susan Weeds has a book called 'Herbal for the childbearing year' which lists emengogues. (abortifaceants) But it takes time and dilligence and so much faith! I tried for three days and nothing. Planned Parenthood has RU 486 or 'the abortion pill' available. I had two children at home, i am a huge advocate of natural childbrith and the thought of metal instruments made me cringe...so this abortion pill was a GREAT THING! you visit PP, they do a intravaginal ultrasound to confirm that you are pregnant and you are only a few weeks along...i forget the limit but its like 9 or so....call right away for an appt. sometimes it takes a few days to get an appt....
anyway, you take two pills orally and insert two pills vaginally...they send you home with all the pills so YOU do it...when you want to. It was painful, but i did go to work the next day. And worked the whole week in fact. I knew it was the right thing for my family to not have another child and i was thrilled to find a gentler alternative to a surgical abortion. I am really disheartened to see all the negative responses you got...good luck! - also, there is a feminist author named Inga Muscio who did have an herbal abortion and wrote a piece about her experiences called " Abortion, Vacuum Cleaners and the Power Within" i belive she lives in the Seattle area. Again, I wish you the best of luck!

Answer 5

I feel for you and your situation, but I've never heard of anything herbal to make a miscarriage happen....I understand that you and your husband are scared and worried about how you could possibly handle another infant, but people do it all the time....it's not that bad or horrible. Granted, it's hard....but anything worth anything is hard.....Well, I am not here to judge. I just hope you fully think everything out before you make a decision you're going to think about and remember for the rest of your life....

By the way, a 5 week old embryo has a heartbeat already..... =(

Answer 6

i will save you the insults...i do not think that it is a wise decision because life begins at conception...what is in you is ALIVE at this point already. regardless, seriously think about adoption. it is a great alternative for those who have unexpected pregnancies and for those unable to have the family that they long for. i WILL let you know, however, that from experience, I think your mind will change if you go through the pregnancy and have the child. I got pregnant unexpectedly. perhaps in one of the most unstable situations at the time. i was kicked out of my house, working full time to support myself while going to college full time (3rd year student)...my bf (now husband) wrecked his motorcycle and was immobile for months. we had no place to go, no money, and a baby on the way. abortion was never an option simply because i do not believe in it. i had my baby a week and a half ago...in the past 9 months, i have my own house, finished this semester at college and already registered for online courses for next semester, have the most amazing husband in the world, and have money in the bank. i just want to give you a little bit of that personal info because 9 months ago, i wanted to run away from life and never come back. things have a way of working themselves out. my baby girl is the love of my life and absolutely the best thing that has ever happened to me and my husband.

think about ALL of your options before you rule out actually having the baby. the reprecussions of miscarriage and abortion last for years and years and years. theres no telling how you will feel once the deed is done. best of luck with everything. i hope it all works out for you the way that it has for me.

Answer 7

sorry, but if you attempt to do this, you will only cause birth defects. If you must, go get an abortion- it's the only safer way to get rid of it like that. You will only do harm to yourself and the baby if you attept it yourself. Give the baby up for adoption if you don't want it- that's another choice. I also am very responsible, always took my birth control pills on time,a nd became pregnant. I had my baby.... there was NO way I could get rid of my baby or kill it. I feel everything happens for a reason, and although my husband and I weren't financially set, we have made it work, and I love our son soooo much, he brings me all the joy in the world. I just feel everything happens for a reason. But that's me... so if you must, go get an abortion. Goodluck

Answer 8

sorry you have an unwanted preggers but the safest way is to go to the doctors and let them help. You really don't want to do something like this by yourself. The pain will be unbearable and you will also need a pelvic exam to make sure all is good. And also you might want to use a condom next time or just don't have sex at all if you can't handle the responsibilities.

Answer 9

i had a natural misscariage i mean i didnt want to loose my baby but it happend so theres nothin i could do if u do have a miscariage then just when the pain gets real bad like unbareble jsut stay on the toilet and yes it will about kill u ull think ur havin it and it may take several hours and may take up to 5 days to complete once uve lost the sack most of the major stuff should come out to along with it that will hurt he most but u still need to go to the doc to make sure everything is ok

good luck oh yeah dont do to much just take it easy for about a week or 2 after wards

Answer 10

Okay, so you've said that you aren't really interested in "naturally aborting" your child and this was all a big hilarious societal experiment. You know what? I'm still going to answer your question as if you were telling the truth, because you may well be.

It's not your baby's fault that your birth control failed. It's not your baby's fault that you're "not ready" for another child. It's not your baby's fault that he or she already has a big sister. None of your circumstances are your baby's fault, and he or she doesn't deserve to die.

The child in your womb is every bit as much your child as the child outside of your womb, and they are equally deserving of your love and protection. Like or it or not, if you are pregnant, you HAVE two children. Are you really the type of person who can kill one of them?

Just three weeks after conception, your baby's heart is already beating. The fact that she is tiny and dependent on you does not make her worthy to be thrown away like garbage. An embryo is just a name for your baby's age, like infant or toddler or pre-adolescent. It doesn't mean he or she isn't a living human being. You know he or she is. You need to face up to what you're contemplating here:

Let me be blunt out of concern for both you and your child. Killing one's own child IS evil and mean. Yes, it's a choice. Some people "choose" to drown their children in bathtubs, too. That doesn't mean their choice is right. Killing your baby "naturally" at home isn't any more moral than hiring a hitman to do at the abortion mill. Take responsibility for your child. He or she deserves it.
