QuestionI had an abortion on march 28, 2011 when i was almost 11 weeks pregnant. I had no problems. But now my stomach is still getting harder and larger. I don't know how to tell if I'm still pregnant or not
AnswerHello, jacy,
The easiest way is to take a pregnancy test. You would be well into the second trimester by now, if you are still pregnant. You should be feeling movement, unless it is a new pregnancy. There is always the possibility that you weren't pregnant, but rather, had an abnormality such as a molar pregnancy.
Molar pregnancies are not common. But here is a page of some basic information that may help:

There is also the possibility you were carrying twins, and they got only one.
You should see a doctor if you suspect any abnormality. I recommend you find a good doctor who is used to dealing with women who have had an abortion, but aren't likely to have poor medical judgment. People who actually do abortions usually have poor medical judgment, because abortion is very dangerous, and in most cases, there is no medical reason to do one. You can find a doctor by finding an organization in your area that helps pregnant women. You can find such an organization by going to this web site:

Good luck with this. Please let me know what you find out.
