Early next week im having to take Methotrexate to help terminate my unknown pregnancy. This havent been good for a few weeks and i'm being told i could be in a life threatening situation if we dont act fast.
With this drug, there are many side effects that come with it, as with most drugs.
Me myself prefer on a daily basis to take the more natural approach to ailments etc and use either Reiki healing or homeopathical remedes and essential oils.
As it happens the thought of using the essential oils that pregnancy women are to stay well clear of in my bath today crossed my mind.
Miscarriage can be brought on if certain oils are used. I did this in all good intention and would like this to be resolved in a more natural way. I hope you can see where im coming from in this. Obviously i will take the Methotrexate if i need to, but prehaps with the help of the oils, it may be pushed along this way. I leave it in the hands of them upstairs. They know whats to happen.x

My reason is, is that ive been under the hospital for 4 weeks now. They can not find where the pregnancy is and ive even had surgery for them to find it. Still nothing. I would never in a million years want to abort my child ive been trying for,for years if i wasnt in this situation. Im hating every min of this and just want a baby of my own...x

i'm so sorry for your situation. you could try the oils but there are no guarantees and perhaps under this situation with it being life threatening you actually need something that's guaranteed.
I hope you get my point. this is one of those situations where perhaps drugs, and all their side effects, is the right choice.
only you can decide. take care

You are NOT in a 'daily basis' situation here; If herbs and essential oils were an efficient abortificant then they'd have been a lot fewer babies born in the past.
Your medical advisor has given you the best advice available, which is to terminate using a drug with known side effects. By introducing 'alternatives' into the equation you could be putting your longer-term health at risk..

DON'T take the oils.
I'm assuming you are in the USA if you are using methotrexate to terminate a pregnancy - it's a shame the better drugs are not licenced in all states.
Methotrexate does have nasty side affects but they will pass - I had to take it for 10 years (as an immunosupressive not to terminate a pregnancy) so believe me i know.
Methotrexate works by causing abnormalities in the foetus so your body will express it.
The essential oils cause bleeding and if you are pregnant can cause haemorrhaging which can be fatal.
You are about to undergo a procedure which when medically managed is relatively simple and safe.
Women across the world die because they do not have access do a medical procedure. Please do not put your life in danger for this.
Some things are better naturally managed but not this one.

What's your reason for aborting your pregancy? I think you should refer to your doctor.
