can having an abortion affect me from having another baby?

Question

im 26 and i fell pregnant a few months after giving birth to my son, i had an abortion because i felt i couldnt cope having another not 1. i npo it was wrong but im trying to have another baby now and i feel that sumthin is stopping me, can an abortion affect me from having a baby.

Answer 1

i did the very same thing right after i had my son, i got pregnant very quickly afterward and had an abortion because i knew i couldn't handle 2 babies, i was still very young myself. my son is now 7 years old and the abortion was 6 1/2 years ago. I tried to get pregnant for about 2 years with no success and eventually accepted that I would never have another child and it was because god was punishing me for the abortion i had years earlier. then when we quit trying, i got pregnant, I am now 17 weeks pregnant and so excited!!!!!!!! it can happen just quit stressing it, i think that was my problem all along. good luck

Answer 2

I can understand your reasoning for using the "school" excuse. I'm not looking down on you, don't take it that way. If done by a true professional in a doctors office that specializes in such a procedure, no, it shouldn't effect a thing. But also, it depends on how far along you are & how extensive the procedure has to be. While I'd love to hope you're not in this position, I feel like you just might be. Abortion is made to seem like a command from older figures in most peoples lives, but it's not, you need to do whats best for you. The pain doesn't go away, but, day by day, you can try to look at it as if you'd be more upset with yourself bringing a child into a broken family. Good luck, God won't take you through what he can't get you out of.

Answer 3

From what I have heard, yes it can. I had an abortion about 2 years ago but now I am pregnant again and im going to have it. But some women are diffrent from others. I also heard that its REALLY difficult for that to happen but it can. So if I were you, go get tested to see if you can still have babies. My manager here at work, her sister cannot have no more kids because she had an abortion. Find out as soon as you can. Dont worry its really rare for that to happen.GOOD LUCK!

Answer 4

Perhaps.. Depending on the physician..

The real problem with abortion is the psychological trauma it leaves on the young woman. Any woman that is not a sociopath often harbors guilt for the death of an innocent Even if the child was clearly not viable.

Abortion should be the last choice and never used as a method of birth control. While I don't way in on the pro-choice/pro-life arguement from a counseling perspective the self inflicted wounds of abortion can leave long term emotional scars in normally healthy young women.

Woman don't "Fall" pregnant as they "fall sick".. So you see pregnancy as a health issue. When in fact it is a moral choice and an issue of seeing it as a life or seeing it as a tumor mass.

When the woman misses her period the "tumor mass" has a heartbeat 18 days post coitus.

My take on "Abortion" is make better choices in birth control as abortion should not be used in this fashion. Abortion should only be in rare cases of incest, rape or physical health of the mother.

Take the Pill, use a diaphragm, make your partner wear a condom, Get the Norplant, get an IUD or get your tubes tied. Don't abort an infant because you failed to take your birth control pill. My reasoning is two fold, i've witnessed the psychological impact of post abortion thought in clients. Some woman spend years in therapy dealing with the guilt and shame of this type of loss. Most (with a conscience) never get over it.

So your answer is likely due to a psychological block and not a physical one.

Answer 5

No it can't because I know a girl who had an abortion because she felt she wasn't ready for one yet. Even though it was wrong she still did it anyways I think the other thing was it wasn't the guy she wanted to have a kid with. Well a few months later she met another guy and they started dating and she had a kid with him. If you want to have kid you might want to start now. Your abortion may not be the problem. It might be other factors if you had problems in the past with the first pregnancy. My cousin and his wife had problems too. His wife had something wrong with her blood, I think she may have been anemic, but that cause her not too have many miscarriages. You should get it checked out with the doctor.

Answer 6

There is no such thing as a sure thing when it comes to a surgical procedure.

Having said that, if you are having trouble getting pregnant, the general rule of thumb is that if you have been trying for more than a year, talk to your OB/GYN about it, and they may recommend a specialist.

And remember, it takes two people to make a baby. It may not be you, even if your partner is the one who got you pregnant the first time. Even when couples are actively trying, there is only about a 20% chance of pregnancy each month. (Hard to believe with the teen pregnancy rates, right?)

Answer 7

As long as it was done properly, it shouldn't have to much of an affect.
I know my mother had one, and still had three more kids after that.

There could also be other things that are interfering. If you think something might be wrong and keeping you from getting pregnant, the best is probably to go to a doctors to have a check up, that way you will know for sure.

Answer 8

No it shouldn't. Make sure this is what you really want before trying to have another one. I have 2 children and it is a hard road ahead with 2. I didn't not plan for the second child. If you are still having trouble after a month or two see your gyno for a checkup just to be safe. Good luck.

Answer 9

Yes it could, but the stress over thinking about it could cause you to have problems too. There's always a percentage of people who do and people who don't. If you've gone to the Gyn and taken care from every other perspective then just relax and rely on nature to take it's course ... worry can be the biggest health problem ... a good attitude it the best start ...

good luck

Answer 10

It can if there were complications. Did you have your check-up after wards? Was everything normal?
If there were no complications, then it shouldn't effect you. I have had two abortions, and am pregnant now and had no problems getting pregnant. This pregnancy was planned and took 4 months after trying to happen, but have had no problems.
