QuestionMY NAME IS ALEXANDRA, I AM 19 YEARS OLD, AND I HAVE HAD 2 ABORTIONS WITHIN THE PAST YEAR. I AM PREGNANT AGAIN, BUT MY FIANCE AND I DO NOT FEEL WE ARE READY FOR A CHILD. I WAS CONSIDERING ADOPTION, BUT I DONT THINK ID BE ABLE TO LET GO OF A CHILD AFTER HAVING IT IN MY WOMB FOR 9 MONTHS. THIS IS A VERY DIFFICULT DECISION FOR ME TO MAKE. I AM VERY WORRIED THAT IF I HAVE ANOTHER ABORTION, I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO HAVE ANOTHER CHILD IN THE FUTURE. I KNOW ABORTIONS ARE VERY HARMFUL TO THE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM, AND IM VERY AWARE THAT I SHOULD BE ON BIRTH CONTROL TO KEEP THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF HAVING ANOTHER ABORTION ( WHICH QUITE FRANKLY I AM AGAINST) WOULD LESSEN MY CHANCES EVEN MORE OF BEING ABLE TO GET PREGNANT AGAIN, OR IF IT MAY CAUSE BIRTH COMPLICATIONS, WHEN I TRY AGAIN IN A FEW YEARS. THIS IS A VERY DISTURBING TIME FOR ME. I AM ONLY ONE MONTH ALONG, BUT I NEED HELP MAKING THIS DECISION. PLEASE HELP ME ANGEL. THANK YOU, ALEXANDRA WHEELER, 19, FLORIDA
AnswerWith every abortion, your risk of not being able to concive does increase. Abortions are safe, there is no risk in the abortion itself. Its in the medications used before and after, and with possible infections.
It of course is not a choice I can make for you. And yes, you really should of been on some sort of birthcontrol, its not like you didnt know this could happen if you have had two prior abortions.
Why would it not be a good time for you to have a child? If you keep waiting the right time will never show up.
