Sudden Pain During Early Pregnancy: Is It Serious?

Question
hi, i was reading your answer to jessica's letter and u said something about pain that is suddenly relieved (go straight to e.r.). i'm aroughly 4 weeks pregnant and i am considering a termination but i keep getting a strange pain, which only lasts a few seconds, on my right side. should i be worried?

Answer
Kelley,

Thanks so much for writing!

You should have that checked out. It could be appendix, too, I imagine.

If you seek to have an abortion, please be aware that many abortionists do not identify tubal pregnancies. Women will experience pain afterwards and think it's because of the abortion, and they're not alerted. I have a very dear friend who went for an abortion. She had a tubal pregnancy, and the abortionist didn't diagnose it. To make a long story short, the tube ruptured, and she had to have an emergency operation to save her life. She came so close to death that she actually had an out of body experience!

Would you want to talk about your decision and what you are thinking? I would be happy to discuss it with you.

Stay safe!
