Which is the safests abortion method ?

Question

I went to my doctor cause my right breast was hurting me, what it seems was like I had some sort of a lump or something. So I was set to a sonogram and nothing showed up there. I have irregular periods, and i dont remmber when I had my last one but its definatly late. (its always late) . Today for no reason I decided to have a home pregnancy test....the result came out POSITIVE!. I am going back to my doctor today. I was wondering whats the safest abortion method during your first month or weeks of pregnancy. I am just not ready for kids right now.

Answer 1

Well, ask your doctor what's right for you. I think the pill would be easiest, but it might have unpleasant side-effects. Surgical abortions, too, have side-effects, but not anything unbearable...

You don't have to listen to anyone telling you you're a horrible person for having an abortion. They don't know anything about you or your situation.
Ignore the scare tactics, too, you will not become barren after an abortion unless something goes terribly wrong, which isn't too likely.
You probably will have some feeling of regret in the future, but it's tolerable.
YOU decide what's right for you. Just be more careful in the future.

*Also, make sure your doctor tests you for pregnancy...you may have gotten a false result from the home pregnancy test.

Answer 2

Eve's Herbs by Riddle was a pretty good book, covering herbal contraceptives, abrotifacents, and emmenagogues throughout early history to modern times. The book comes from the point of view that herbal birth control and abortions are something that was once common and fairly effective, and yet now so much of our knowledge of it has been forgotten we think medical treatments are the only options and that "back in the day" there wasn't much you could do. Of course, this doesn't really help unless you're also researching historical laws about herbal contraceptives and induced miscarriages. Which would actually be interesting to hear how it was legally addressed hundreds or thousands of years ago, when it was addressed at all.

Answer 3

I agree with the adoption people. It's a win-win-win situation. There are so many women who want children and can't have them. This would give one of them a child. Every child deserves to have a parent who wants the responsibility and is ready to act like a parent. Also, you don't say how old you are, but you're only responsiblity will be to give birth. For the average pregnancy (as much as there is an average pregnancy, I basically mean barring any abnormal difficulties) carrying the child is much easier than caring for the child later. It's your decision, but I personally wouldn't do it (it is a religious belief of mine, but it also makes sense in other ways). With adoption, you still have the opportunity to decide to hand the child over to someone else if you still do not want to parent a child after birth. You can also give yourself a chance to get used to the idea of having a child and may decide that it is something you want. However, if you abort the child now, that's it; there's no going back.

Also, keep in mind that hormonal imbalances may be able to cause a false positive on a pregnancy test, I think, anyway. The fact that one breast was hurting sounds kind of weird to me, but I'm not a doctor.

Answer 4

Medical abortion, I think. You take one or two pills, and you pass the embryo/foetus as you would a normal period. A little heavier, most likely, but not invasive. You need to have a long chat with your doctor about the methods, and be sure that it's the perfect choice for you. If he isn't helpful - some docs are really anally pro-life and will attempt to make you keep the foetus, much like most people who post here will - then call something like planned parenthood (in the US) or family planning clinic (UK). They can give you unbiased info and help.

Remember, even though many people will be trying to force you to not abort, it's your body! No one else's. Until that embryo/foetus is able to survive outside your body without help - 22 weeks minimum - it is part of you, and it's your choice. If you aren't ready for kids and you don't think adoption is the way to go, then stand by your choice. It's your life, and by getting your decision made early you're being responsible and doing what's best for you and everyone close to you. Good luck with your decision.

Answer 5

There is no "safe" abortion, but you have to do what YOU feel is best for you. now you have all of these people saying don't abort your baby but ask them how many children have they adopted? it is not an easy choice and you have to be smart about having sex because of the many risks it carries. i will be praying for you and i wish you the best. i know what you are going through and again you might have some regrets later on down the road but it doesn't make you a bad or evil person you are someone who made a mistake and you live and learn from your mistakes as anyone and you try not to make them again. but you definitely need to get a strong support team even if it's no one but your doctor. the more support you have it's not as hard. i wish you the best.

Answer 6

There are two methods of abortion. 1 is by taking several pills over several days and the second is surgical. They both have their own risks, mostly from infection. However, as long as you are treated by a trained medical staff, you should b e fine, since they do offer antibiotics to fight off infection. There are also many other risks involved, such as possibility of infertility and risk of breast cancer (studies are pending). There is also the emotional toll that you have to consider, and the remarks of others...especially since you posted something so controversial on this site. However, if you feel that you are not financially ready, there are other options such as adoption that you might want to consider. It is your choice in the end, and listen to what you think is best! Talk to a doctor thoroughly before going through with any operation, and understand the risks involved. Take care!

Answer 7

Make sure you think long and hard about it first. If your sure thats what you want to do then the safest way is the legal way. Because you are only a few weeks in, you will probably have the contents of your womb sucked out with a special vacuum syringe. It doesnt take long and is very stress less.
But please dont leave it long, the longer you take, the longer the procedure becomes. You can have an abortion up to 24 week but you do not want that.....its quite disturbing because the feotus is too large and formed for the suction tube, so it has to be destroyed in the womb and then taken out in pieces. Not pretty. But you arent far along. so it should be the suction tube. Remeber you need permission from 2 doctors and you need to prove that it will be detrimental on your physical or metal health.

Answer 8

Well, what makes you think you can decide on somebody else's life? If you don't want the baby give it up for adoption. Somebody else will probably be happy to have him/her. When you start having sex you have to know that if your not in control this is more likely to happen. Yo have to assume the consequences. If your not ready for kids at least try to be responsible. I hope you have a change of heart, and if you decide to give him/her for adoption, once you have that baby in your arms, you'll know you can't live with out him/her. Give the baby a chance to live and a chance of a family. Don't just up satright say abortion. That baby deserves to live, is the least you can do.

Answer 9

I don't know if there is a difference in abortion methods. I would just make sure that clininc I went to was clean and not dirty. Make sure they use sterilized equipment.

Alot of people are going to let you know there opinion and what they feel and not answer th equestion.
There is also adoption.

Answer 10

BIRTH! THEN ADOPTION! There are so many people out there that would love to have the chance at pregnancy but can't. They would be so happy as to help and give a newborn a home. You should of thought about it before you had sex, I have been told that is how babys are made!
