What are the steps of an abortion and are there after effects?

(sorry in advance for those who believe abortion is wrong) but I’ve taken a test and I am pregnant. just thought id point out that I did use a condom but something obviously went wrong, I missed my period but thought it was a fluke until I took a test. im still thinking things through but im almost certain I will have an abortion. I havnt yet been to the doctors and im inexperienced with how an abortion works so could someone please explain the steps and procedures to me? also if there is any long term and short term side effects. thankies

Answer #1

was reading your question…im a mum..I found out I was preg in january 2008 I was 18 and was already going on 3 months…my aunty was forcing me to abort the baby, but every one else were saying dont listen to her or “you do watever you want to choose” …I had 1 month of full councelling and thinking it over…

I chose to keep the baby..I didnt want to go back home whilst every1 in town wood talking behind my back calling me a murderer saying that I killed my unborn baby..witch the town that I live in is pretty small and when one thing is spoken out, the next day every1 knows bout it…

and my babys dad got back with me when we find out I was preg…but ya know what? he left me 1 month before I had our son…he left us for a random chick he met off the internet and he wanted nothing to do with our son..a

and he is the most handsome baby boy in the world well I think he is :) and ya know im so happy and thankfull that I have my son because if I aborted him, id still be alone to this day and motherhood is soo exciting and its an enjoyable experience that I will never ever ever ever forget…

but yer no one can tell you to keep the baby or to abort it…its your life..its your decision to make…but just no that if you ever want to talk im here for you ok?

Answer #2

its realy up to you. you have to go with what you think is right rather then going with what other people are saying I also think you should go with plant parinthood they would help you out a lot

Answer #3

I agree that you’d have better luck with planned parenthood than here. I’d just like to say, I find some of these posts despicable in their attempts to guilt someone who’s obviously in a tough situation.

I wish you all the best. hugs, Jill

Answer #4

Why dont you call up planned parenthood or your local free clinic? They’ll give you information about procedures.. and the risks and what not… pwincess_irenemarie has decided to focus on late abortions when it is not obvious you are planning on having one… you’re not likely to get any unbiased information here…

Answer #5

I just cried when I read what pwincess_irenemarie posted. I guess I just thought abortion was that they gave you a shot and well the baby was gone or soemthign I didnt know that you still like have it and they just rip it apart or burn it or soemthing. please please please dont do it there aremeooo many familes that cant have children that would love to have your son/daughter and some mayy even payy for your doctor vistits and give you extra money too. and what if you regret it. ull have to live with it the rest of your life and that might be really hard to do. you posted anonomysly or id add you as a friend please funmail me if you want to talk id love to help you in any way but please dont take your babys life

Answer #6

Okay Well…I Believe That abortion Is The Choice Of The Mother. If You Can’t Afford To Take Care Of It Or If Something Is Wrong With The Baby… Things Like That are good reasons for abortion. And Also I Believe That You Most Likely Will Have Emotional Issues Afterwards Considering You Will Be Taking The Life Of Your Child. In My Opinion, You Should Give The Baby Up For Adoption Or Something…To People You Know Will Take Great Care Of Him/her.

Answer #7

For a few weeks following an abortion, you may experience the following: Abdominal pain and cramping Nausea Vomiting Diarrhea Spotting and Bleeding

Some more serious side effects (requiring medical help) are: Heavy bleeding Infection Damage to the cervix Scarring of the uterine lining Perforation of the uterus Damage to other organs Fever Continued pregnancy symptoms

Something else to consider - an abortion is major surgery and can result in death, so know what you’re getting into.

You may need to seek therapy afterward, as abortion often has a severe emotional effect on a woman.

Mnay have long-term effects - abortion takes a Life.
