What to expect with pregnancy and abortion?

Question

So, I took a test at my clinic today and am definitely pregnant. Conception happened around the 22nd of October, and it's now ...about 3 weeks later. I'm just wondering when to expect getting morning sickness.. my abortion is scheduled for the 30th of November.
I am in college and every day I have morning classes at 8 a.m. I know everybody is different so their morning sicknesses may differ from person to person, but basically, does it usually happen as soon as you get up? Or can it come any time in the morning? I can't imagine throwing up everywhere on my way to class, or in class for that matter!
Thanks in advance for the help.

I guess I should elaborate that I'm only 19 years old in college, this was an accident, and I've got some life to live before having children. Sorry to those of you who are against abortion, each to their own, this is my decision.

Answer 1

Morning sickness is quite prevalent throuhout the first trimester, so if it hasn't started yet, it will start soon, and go all the way until your date of 11/30.

Morning sickness, also called nausea, vomiting of pregnancy, or pregnancy sickness, affects between 50 and 95 percent of all pregnant women as well as some women who use hormonal contraception or hormone replacement therapy. The nausea can be mild or induce actual vomiting. In extreme cases, known as hyperemesis gravidarum, hospitalization may be required to treat the resulting dehydration. (this paragraph posted from Wikipedia)

I would not expect to be instantly "better" right after your procedure either, as you develop very strong likes & dislikes during your pregnancy as far as food & flavors go, and those may remain after you terminate. The hormones your body produces also will not stop instantly because of the abortion, and like one of the other people said, don't underestimate the emotional impact of terminating your baby's life.

To my ill-informed friend "☆ღWifey Wifeyღ☆", anyone can be part of the religious right, not exclusively republicans, and "true" conservatives, while quite possibly personally anti-abortion, do not advocate the government regulating what one can do with your body.

I have strong opnions on abortion, but I also like to answer the questions as they were asked. The asker didn't ask about my opinion on abortion, and since she's already scheduled one, she probably doesn't care what my opinion is. She probably will regret her decision later in life, but making mistakes and learning from them is what life is all about. I will also say that anyone who has never had a child can't fully appreciate the value of life.

I submit your answer was just as judgemental as any "republican's" answer.

---------------------------------

Also, to my ill-informed friend Scocasso !, who answers on page 2, morning sickness is not (necessarily) caused by eating poorly.

I got the following also from the Wikipedia link:

There is insufficient evidence to pin down a single (or multiple) cause, but the leading theories for proximate causes include:

An increase in the circulating level of the hormone estrogen. Estrogen levels may increase by up to a hundredfold during pregnancy.
Low blood sugar during pregnancy.
An increase in progesterone relaxes the muscles in the uterus, which prevents early childbirth, but may also relax the stomach and intestines, leading to excess stomach acids.
An increase in human chorionic gonadotropin.
An increase in sensitivity to odors, which overstimulates normal nausea triggers.
An increase in bowel movement.

While it's true that the intake of alcohol, sugar, oils, and meat can trigger morning sickness, they are by no means the only reason for it. My wife has had morning sickness during both of our pregnancies, and she eats quite healthy.

Answer 2

I conceived the same exact time you did, only Im married, and planning to keep the child. I think its interesting to find someone in a similar situation, with a baby at the same stage, who has different plans for their pregnancy.

You are actually considered 6 weeks pregnant and the embryo is about 4 weeks developed. Its still considered an embryo until about week 11....which means sometime around the 3rd week of December it will be a fetus.

I havent had morning sickness, I have felt queasy but thats about it. No throwing up yet and I hope I dont.

Not everyone gets morning sickness and sometimes women who have it are sick all day long. Some women get sick in the evening some in the middle of the day. It just varies from person to person and pregnancy to pregnancy. Theres no way to really know until it actually happens to you...assuming it does.

Good luck to you!

Answer 3

Morning sickness varies with everyone and with every pregnancy. I've had 3 kids and it was different with every one. I don't want to give too much advice, but I would like to say that I was in college the first time I got pregnant ... scared to death ... had the baby ... eventually graduated. Then just two months after starting my "career job", my child was out of town with my parents, and I went out for the first time in years, got too drunk, had sex, took the morning-after-pill the next day, and still got pregnant. And today I am so thankful that morning-after-pill didn't work. That baby is now 7 years old and is the most wonderful child in the world. I am now the mother of 3 girls and am quite thankful for each and every one.

Answer 4

Why do you even care? I hope you throw up every day in class and have the WORST morning sickness ever! Geez, you are about to kill your baby and you're worried about throwing up in public?!?!

Kevin M- So what? Report me. I just wrote my honest opinion. I love children, this is my third. I've been pregnant for a total of 27 months of my life so far, had morning sickness for a total of 6 months between all 3 pregnancies, and am due in 3 months. I had my first when I was 21. I am still in college and have managed to get pretty far in my college career even though I have children. It can be done.

So, sorry if I feel that it is immature to be so concerned about morning sickness when a life is about to be ended when it should have been prevented in the first place if it wasn't wanted. Sex has consequences, people! DUH!

Answer 5

You could get morning sickness before your appointment, but probably not. It usually doesn't happen for the first month.

Morning sickness is a misnomer. It can happen at any time of the day; it just strikes many women first thing in the morning.

If you start to have it, sit near the back of the room so you can exit quickly, and have plenty of water and saltine crackers. Just like with the flu, those are helpful.

As per the abortion: the kind you are having shouldn't be physically painful, since it is so early. If you do start to feel ill afterwards, seek help. Also, if you do end up depressed afterwards (it happens to many women, even if they feel they did what they needed to do), seek help for that as well. You are not alone.

Good luck with everything!

Answer 6

My best friend got morning sickness all day and all night; to the point that she'd wake up in the middle of the night to throw up.

Edit: Don't listen to everyone saying your a monster & so forth; they just want to shove their views on everyone & make everyone suffer like them.

If you want an abortion have one, it's YOUR body, YOUR life and YOUR choice.

I know I'd have an abortion without a second thought as I never want children.

Answer 7

"morning sickness" is caused by eating badly. It is not natural. It is your body telling you, "Hey, that's crap you just ate is bad,and it's very bad for the baby." But usually morning sickness will come later in the pregnancy, but if you do feel it coming on... well, better. Your body is becoming hypersensitive. People have taught their bodies over time to not resist the bad foods they eat. Just like smoking. At first, smokers cough and feel sick, but soon they teach their body not to resist. Same with food. But, when pregnant, your body says, "Okay, no more of that -- this is serious business, I'm taking control." A lot of people really don't listen to their body at all, and will go through the whole pregnancy constantly feeling sick and throwing up and battling against their body saying, "I'm going to eat this anyway because..." I know some people who've done this. Hear about sooo many more.

After the abortion you can also experience a severe drop in hormones and will likely feel completely horrible and depressed (much like after giving birth) and could have horrible feelings towards the unborn child etc. I speak from the experience of people I know who have gone through it. Sad and crying and nightmares... but everyone's different. Some have no problems at all -- not even morning sickness yet they eat all kinds of crap.

Answer 8

You may not get any morning sickness at all - a lot of women don't. And yes, it really isn't just mornings - can come on any time of the day. Mine was actually just annoying nausea all day long, without ever actually throwing up. Otherwise, if you haven't had any real bouts with it yet, I doubt you'll see any major changes before the 30th. I wish you the best.

Answer 9

Atleast have an ultrasound done before having this abortion. Look at your precious baby, you could always give this innocent child up for adoption. But I am not criticing you just want to make sure you think about it. You can have morning sickness anytime a day or even all day. And it can start as early as 2-3 wks and last the whole pregnancy which is rare, usually disappears at the end of the 1st trimester. Saltine crackers with water before you get out of bed helps too. Wish you the best.

Answer 10

You indeed are very brave to post this here. All i can say is that it depends from person to person but one my friends went through the same thing and she had a really hard time with the reaction to the medication. Vomiting is common and bleeding might occur too. I think th best thing to do is to ask a doctor about this to get a clear view of what to expect because as i said, it depends on the person and your reaction to these things might be different.
I'll list my a source where you can check out some information about this.
