I had to have a medical termination at 20.5 weeks a little over 4 months ago. My son had a rare condition called Campomelic Dysplasia which is fatal. This was a very much wanted and anticipated pregnancy. When I was told about my son's condition, my world felt like it was collapsing. I have never cried so much in all my life. The loss of our child has caused a lot of heartache and a huge rift between myself and my husband. If I was faced with that decision again, I would make the same choices. But every day I cry over my baby. My due date with him is coming up. This wasn't a matter of an inconvenience. And I feel horribly guilty all the time. My son would have died regardless. The termination just sped things up and spared him suffering. Unless there is a medical reason, please don't abort. It will haunt you. Don't get me wrong, I am Pro-Choice, but I'm speaking from my own experience. And as for getting pregnant again? I was shocked when 3 months after my son was born dead, I was sitting in the bathroom at work with a postive pregnancy test in my hand. And I feel guilty for getting pregnant so quickly. I don't feel like I've had enough time to mourn my son. I can't enjoy or be happy about this pregnancy, I',m too consumed with guilt. Please think long and hard before you make any decisions. My thoughts are with you.

Contact Marie Stopes. They carry out a very proffessional service and offer terminations as well as counciling. They will make an appointment to simply talk about it first & run you through the procedure & then you have time to think before you book in to have the termination carried out. If you are 5-6 weeks pregnant there should be no complications. It is a simple procedure of scraping the womb and removing the pregnancy. A week or so later you experience a 'period' like time where you bleed - you may find it a bit heavier than a period but normal pain killers help with any cramps, your body simply expells the rest of the unwanted/unused lining. All you have to do is take it easy (no lifting/sexual intercourse/sport) for a few weeks. If you have any discharge or a fever you may have a minor infection but they will explain this & you just go back & they will give you antibiotics (but this is not common, just something to look out for). You may feel a little tender inside for a week or so but nothing severe at all. The next month or two you will begin normal periods again.
The only thing I cant guarantee is how you will feel emotionaly about it. It is said a lot of women feel an enourmous sense of releif afterwards but make sure you are 100% sure it is the right decision for you. You can look up marie stopes on the web or yellow pages etc. I wish you all the best x

The first drawback is that you feel the need to post this question here and are going to get hassled. The problem you will have in the future is that the anti-abortion folks will note that someone with your username has had (or considered) and abortion, opening yourself up to abusive e-mails and cyberstalking.
Other than that, only drawbacks are that you may regret making the decision. If you see a physician for an early surgical abortion it's extremely unlikely there will be any complications or problems with future fertility.

my dear, my advise is that u should not abort that innocent child due to personal problem . moreover, u are married only commit that problem into the able hands of God. Assuming while trying to abort the child u end up there have the problem be solved? Even Medically it is not advisable it could lead to damaging of ur tissue which may prevent u from having another baby in future when u eventually needs it. In the sight of God it is abormination.
Note: Being specific of the kind of personal problem u have could also help us to answer ur question properly. ie, is it concerning ur health or financial aspect or whatsoever?

I could see if you were 14,15 or even 16, but 26 years old and you want to have an abortion. That shouldn't even be an issue for you. If you weren't ready for a baby at 26 then you should of used protection. This is awful even for you to be asking us on here. I had one when I was young and ya know what, every December I think about that baby that I KILLED, why December you ask.....because my baby would of been born sometime in December of 2000. Abortions scar your life completly, and now that I'm older, I'm afraid that I will never be able to have kids. With abortions, their ripping the fetus right out of you. Is that what you want happening to your insides. If I would of known, what I know now about abortions, I would never ever of had one. I hope you decide to make the right decision.

I wouldnt take a answer for this serious question off a internet site. What if your circumstances cahnge again next month, and you had wished you had kept the baby, there is so much to think about, you will have to rest with this decision for the rest of your life, and yes there are complications, mental and medical. Seek medical help and proffesional advice. At the end of the day its up to you, be very carful, dont do anything in haste.

I am 100% in agreement with Indigo. This is too serious and too personal a quesiton to leave to people on Yahoo.
Almost every small town/city has a pregnancy crisis center or pregnancy assistance group that can hook you up with factual abortion materials, a counselor and someone to help you get through whatever choice you make, spiritually.
If you think you are only dealing with physical elements of terminating a pregnancy, you aren't. You will go through emotional struggles, feelings of guilt and loss, so that's why it's important to talk to someone in the mental/emotional/spiritual field as well.

I would say that you might regret it. I don't believe that abortion should be used as birth control but only in life or death or rape. I know that's not what you wanted to hear. but its what I think and there is always the chance that you might not be able to have a baby again after an abortion. Sorry, I just don't agree. The baby does have a heartbeat by now too.

Besides the emotional problems that may arise from the abortion, there is also the possibility that you will have a more difficult time trying to become pregnant again in the future if you decide to try again. As with any surgical procedure there is always the risk of something going wrong, or complications after the procedure, but generally speaking it is a safe and easy procedure to have done-usually with no lasting medical complications. Good luck.
