ANSWER: precious,
I am so sorry you did all that to your body. That said, you may be able to get help. There is one organization in Trinidad and Tobago that may be able to help you. You can see the information by going here:
http://www.heartbeatinternational.org/worldwide_directory.asp
Here is the information as well: Pro-Life League, phone 234-01-493-6019. I think 234 is the country code, so you should be able to dial the rest of it, or the last seven digits, depending on where you live. They should be able to put you in touch with a doctor who can help you.
I imagine that you are aware I can't guarantee anything. But at least give it a go. You certainly have nothing to lose! Chances are, it will be an all or nothing proposition. Either your baby will be all right, or you will lose your baby. Again, no guarantees. But it's early, and that's what usually happens.
If for some reason, there is damage, you can probably find some help. I don't know what kind of services are available there. Trinidad and Tobago is close to the United States. If you can't get help there, work on coming to the United States to get help. There may be a way you can do that; people will try to help you.
Good luck with this. I will say a little prayer for you both. Please let me know what happens.

QUESTION: Thank you so very much. but in Trinidad and Tobago abortions is very much illegal. Its only now I'm so very confuse and sorry. I know deep down in my heart its was the wrong choice. Its just that I've had so much hard time and bad experience. But yet still I did not protect myself. I'm already feeling morning sickness. But I pray that the baby is alright.
Thanks for the information :-)

AnswerHello again.
You are VERY welcome!
It sounds like maybe you are having some emotional issues with your past choices. Please know that if this is the case, I am here for you. Also, you can talk to the people whose phone number I gave you, because usually these groups have people who can work with a woman who regrets her choices.
It sounds like the government of Trinidad and Tobago still very much cares for the safety of women, and that is good.
Keep praying. It's in God's hands. Your baby belongs to Him, and He will determine the future of your baby. If for some reason, God wants your baby to come Home, then you can pray that He will send you another little one.
May God bless you richly with His comfort and peace.
