ABORTION

I am pregnant for 9 weeks. I want to abort it. What shall I do ? Already I had an surgical abortion before 5 years and that to exactly 3 months was going. If this time I will do abortion, then will it affect my future pregnancies?

Hi.  Most women can have another abortion without issue.  I would discuss this with your doctor who would perform an abortion.  Perhaps they can better guide you.  You wouldn't be the first nor the last to need multiple abortions.  

The key is prevention!  I would strongly urge you to find a reliable form of birth control after this and stick to it.  Planned Parenthood is an excellent resource in the US that can provide birth control to women often for free.  There are other clinics that provide the same service.  Condoms are excellent too and can be purchased at any drug store, grocery store, even mini marts.  This would protect you from std's as well.  Really important to take care of yourself in this regard.  So, please consider what comes after this as well and pick a birth control method and stick to it.

By the way, I was a little confused---  is this your second or third abortion?  

Speak to the clinic that would perform the abortion about your question.   Don't let anyone make you feel bad or guilty when doing so.  This is your life and your decision and you are just trying to do the best you can.  good luck

Suman,
At 9 weeks, you will need a D&C. Having multiple D&Cs in a row definitely scars the uterus. You do run the risk of having a complicated pregnancy in future, I don't think any doctor would say - Oh, thats fine, surgical abortion after abortion wont hurt your ability to get or stay pregnant in future.
Its your choice in the end, but one needs to treat sex as a responsible activity and not something casual. It does not matter if you're married or not, used a contraceptive or not. Unless you were forced to have intercourse, the outcome of sex is your responsibility. If you harm your ability to have or sustain pregnancies in future, the only person responsible is you. So take your decisions (sex or abortion) with a lot of care. Sorry for being blunt, but you're in this spot second time, not the first.

to get to the women's choice forum if using the app,.hit the communities tab. then choose all communities and scroll down the list to women's choice community. you will probably find more acceptance and information there, but I agree that you need to consult your doctor before going through with the abortion as it is a very real risk that it may affect future pregnancies

i guess you should talk to your doctor about it.. coz sometimes there are risks for abortion.. have you considered adoption maybe? whatever some moms here may tell you specially about the sensitivity of your question, try not to feel bad.. there's gonna be alot who would flip with the idea of abortion hun.. im thinking its best that you think that a million times and ask a doctor about risks..
