unsure...

Hello all moms,
I have a really embarrassing question but I don't really know who else to ask. I am 6 weeks pregnant and I have my first appointment soon. I have had 3 abortions and am nervous to tell my doctor because of her maybe judging me.I am very excited to be a mommy now and hate my past. Do you feel like it's important to tell her. Or had anyone been in a similar situation.  Thank you!

I had one almost 4 years ago. And all my doctor asked was how many pregnancies I said 3 with this one. One live birth and one abortion now this one. They just said okay and wrote it down. My bf was like do you have to tell her because he felt bad. And she said I'm here to help you now not judge you for what you've done.

Tell your dr. I had one a yr ago and was afraid to tell her. My fiance doesnt even know..he didnt go with me to my first appt i purposely scheduled it while he was unable to take off from work bc i didnt want him to know. I dont regret my decision, but i do regret not telling him. And at this point im not going to tell him

Also the hospital and any nurse, doctor, etc has to follow hippa.  even if they don't approve of you having 3 abortionS they by law cant tell anyone or say anything or disclose any of your information to anyone else. But I do feel you should say it though.

I think its your personal choice to disclose none, 1 or all...you may be judged but that should not affect your level of treatment & care. Congrats and good luck

Thanks everyone.  That really helps knowing that others have gone through this.  I will definitely tell her. Thank you again!

YES you Really should tell her because it Can possibly have an effect on your pregnancy. So please do tell her

I had 2 abortions 4 months apart from eachother and then got pregnant 2 months later again and went through with it. I also hate what I had done, but I know I did it for the best. I told my doctors and yes some give you such a filthy look, but I know I did the right thing and I'm 100% sure you did also, noone would make that choice for no reason. I susgest telling your doctor but also when I told mine I felt after that they didn't really need to know cause everyone always seemed to shrug it off but it really is best putting it all out there.. noone will ever understand your abortions, people have very strong opionions about this and that is okay, but I always know I did what I felt what was best, I killed my kids yes, but I feel I gave them the best I could at that time. Thats what counts..... people may read this and call me names which ill take, but I know I did the right thing, why on earth would anyone male that choice for no good reason. Make peace with yourself.

Actually you probably should because you've had 3

[chelseayoung]

You do not have to tell her about any abortion

[tamararae19]

Tell her incase, it could be important for medical reasons.

[itzchelle]

It's important to tell her so she knows your medical history. It might make you a higher risk pregnancy and she has to pay closer attention.

[CindyLovesTito]

They have to knoe all your medical history they wont judge you. I had one abortion before i told them they didnt say anything. They just have to kno do nothing effect this pregnancy

[knufrio]

Your Dr will not judge you, its important to be honest about your past medical history because it can play a role in your current pregnancy. Everyone has a past hun and most people don't like theirs so you are certainly not alone :-)
