This is a touchy topic..I don't believe in abortions but I'm not here to judge u. I don't know you to be able to judge you. But I agree with pp. It would be best if u did tell your doctor so she can keep track of your health records for if you were to get pregnant in the future.  And it you happen to get an infection they could properly treat you ....as for your bf. I would...I couldn't hide a secret like that. It would probably eat me alive. It was his baby too.  A miscarriage is a very horrible and traumatic thing to go through. I had one and still cry over it. Just sit him down when u r ready and talk to him. Good luck

Abortion is a very difficult decision and everyone who has one has their reasons...i had one 20 years ago as a young teen and i still struggle with it to this day. It took a long time for my to even acknowledge to myself it happened. That being said...i had pre-term labor with my daughter and my cervix is screwy...but i deserve it.

As far as telling your drs...i would...they cant tell anyone and if you get an infection or something like that they will be able to properly treat...as far as your boyfriend thats a tough one...i feel like its a karma issue if you lie about miscarriage...maybe just choose your wording carefully...good luck sweetheart :/

I agree with codi bear i have to say.. although i can see where people may find it wrong.. but we dont no the situation and why ... you dont have to tell your doc if she dosnt no then she wouldnt no any better she wouldnt be able to tell..  but you prob should tell her just incase for any reason she might need to no.. you should have signed something saying if you wanted your doctor to be informed or not.. but for your general well being i'd tell her.. unless you cant!.. but she cant tell him

I would like to say if she felt abortion was her best option that's her choice and she doesn't need anyone's approval not even her boyfriends. If she doesn't want anyone to know that's also her choice! Abortion is hard and if hiding it is what helps her then so be it. I don't think anyone walks around after an abortion with a sign on their neck proud of it. Btw where you had the procedure will not send anything to your Dr unless you signed a release giving them permission but most places that offer that procedure know its a very private decision and don't ask you to sign a release unless you ask them. Also many women who haven't had abortions have trouble w pre-term labor so don't worry about when you are ready for children. Good luck to you and stay protected so you wont have that decision again, its hard. Prayers for you.

Does he know you were pregnant?  I'm sad that you felt an abortion was the answer to your pregnancy. However if you felt it was the right thing to do, then you should be honest with him. If you think he'll be upset,  that's something you needed to consider before you made the decision without consulting him. Being a sexually active adult means you are ready to make these kind of choices and deal with the repercussions of either having a child or having an abortion.  In the future your gyno will need to know about the abortion. Especially if you have another pregnancy later in life. I've heard of some women having issue with pre-term labor after abortions. I don't know if its true, but wanted to share.

It isn't my place to judge but it makes me sad that you are acting like you had a miscarriage and really aborted it.

why would you lie to him? he has the right to know the truth....going for an abortion without him is your right, but hiding the truth just seems cruel.

With that said...your doctor needs to know about this. Who did the abortion? most likely they sent papers to your general practitioner to keep with your permanent file, so she probably already knows.
