You can do it sweetie! Keep your head up! Keep us updated from time to time. There is a lot of support to be found here. I was first a member 4 years ago and I have two really close friends I met then that I still talk to daily. I'm just now coming back around, but it really is a wonderful resource. Best wishes to you! :)
Thank you all very much. I am sooo glad I posted on this. I never really wanted to have an abortion, I would just feel super guilty if my child was not healthy. Now comes the hard part.... telling my family!! Thank you all very very much for the support, honestly.
Ashy. Believe me when I say there are a ton of adoptive families who would love to help you with your baby. If you stop now your baby has a good chance of being just fine. If u are looking for an agency this one is great.....itsaboutlove.org. best of luck to u and ur baby, they really r a miracle.
At least you know now and you can do everything you can now to be healthy. People are right, drinking and drug use does not always lead to deficits. Take care of yourself now, get on Pre-natals, don't drink or smoke and figure out your options! Good LucK!
Yes, I have stopped, but that was yesterday! I just took the test, and have a doc appt scheduled for Friday. I honestly cant see myself getting an abortion. I will give the baby up, healthy or not. I will definitely be honest with the doctor, and the adoption agency... if they even accept me. Thanks for the help.
Anytime you try to self-abort you run the risk of serious complications. No method of abortion is 100% safe, but especially not an abortion that you did yourself. I have personally never heard of vitamin C to abort, but remember that you can overdose on too much of any type of vitamin, so IMO, it just isn't safe. You could end up in the hospital.
Drinking and drug usage during pregnancy isn't safe either, but not every developing fetus will suffer ill effects. I would recommend that you wait until your appt to see how far along you are, and have your ultrasound to see if everything is growing properly. Also, after 12 weeks, most places won't do an abortion unless it's medically necessary. You need to see your doctor and be honest about your drinking and drug usage and go from there.
Just giving you a little bit of info. My biological drank her whole pregnancy, smoked weed, and other things. I came out almost 8lbs. i was told im one of the lucky ones. I will tell you that in some cases your baby could develop fetal alcohol effect. Have you stopped using and drinking???? if not you should. I wouldnt do the natural abortion i have heard it both ways. If you do not desire to have a child then i would definately give him or her up for adoption. in my opinion its too late for an abortion. Hope this helps and im not trying to be rude. Good luck and best wishes. x x x
