Post Abortion Pregnancy

How long do i have to waite until i get pregnant again? Its deeply unfortunate that i cant keep this child, but its under uncontrolable circumstances that will jeopardise my life. I want to have a child with the one i love, not the one i DONT love. So after my abortion this wednesday, we want to start making a new baby. I need some knowledge and advice on how to get the babymaker working again.

You must get out of this relationship!  Whether you decide to abort or not, you are in an extremely unhealthy situation.  The fact that you want to try to get pregnant with this man is truly heartbreaking.  If your future child is a girl they will grow up thinking men have the right to abuse women, if it's a boy he will be an abuser.  I guarantee it.  There is a lot if help for women in your situation.  Check into a women's shelter if you have to.  I know you say you love him, but I don't believe you.  The reason being is that you don't sound like you even love yourself.  It's impossible to love someone when you don't love yourself.  The real story is that you are dependent on him and afraid to be alone.  I'm not trying to put you down, I just want you to understand no woman deserves to be in the situation you are in.  If you decide to stay with him then at least reconsider the kid thing.  It's one thing for you to decide to live that life, but I promise you, no kid wants to live in an environment like that, nor do they deserve to.  Please get some help!

I agree that your current boyfriend is a dangerous person to be with. He is verbally abusive towards you and you are fooling yourself if you think that he won't one day turn on your children.

The decision to abort is yours and yours alone. He can't make the decision for you, neither can anyone else. Definitely make sure this is what you want to do. There is no shame in asking for help and there is no shame in leaving him and raising this child on your own.

Definitely think about this long and hard before you make a decision. Consider both sides, is staying with him worth the heartache he has already brought to your life? Is it worth the anger and resentment you will feel everytime you look at hime and think about what he made you give up?

My prayers are with you in this difficult time.

Please visit www.priestsforlife.org , on the side column there is a link to "what an abortion looks like". Maybe if you see what it is you are doing you will change your mind and love the baby you have been blessed with. Having an abortion is going to affect you emotionally for the rest of your life.  Are you ready for that? If your baby could, it would say, mommy please don't have an abortion.I will be praying for you.

i was 21 and messed up too hun....now i am a nurse and have a degree in biology and chemistry with a wonderful 9 yr old son...i was a single mom for 7 yrs. i got housing and food stamps. there is wic and medicaid....and 1000's of other programs....don't do this if you will regret it it will mess you up more. seek help at your local department of human services....they will make sure that you are well taken care of and even get you training....CNA courses are free and you make good money through them . if you go to a shelter they will help you find a job get prenatal care and housing for low income....i did it and now i am TTCing for # 2 with my now loving devoted husband. don't do something you might regret.

ultra sounds are not very accurate in early PG....i knew someone who was supposed to be 5 weeks that ended aborting a 9 week fetus....she was devistated. as far as the actual procedure ...they all have the same risks involved. you can ovulate again quickly...but the uterus can be damaged and/or tramatized by this and getting PG too soon can cause a miscarriage. so i would wait at least 2-3 normal cycles before trying if you do this.....and i would think twice, you don't sound convinced this is a good choice for you. don't do anything you might reggret. there are always other options hun.

love....kimmie
