depression

14831014 tn?1437910733 I'm 18 and I had an abortion a week ago at 7 weeks pregnant (medical abortion) the reason I did is because i did not feel ready for a child at 18 as i'm not in a stable relationship, I had considered adoption but I felt if I did, that I would get too emotionally attached to my child. I felt absolutely nothing towards the situation at first but now I'm changing.. My personality has completely changed and I'm scared..
Avatar f tn I need a little more information to be able to help you. Are you depressed because you had an abortion or because you didn't stay with the babys dad after the abortion? Why did you get an abortion? was it your age or baby daddy issues?
Avatar f tn I think you are having a little bit of depression after having the abortion and I think you need to work on that first, before bringing a baby into the mix. Wasn't your b/f a big reason for you getting the abortion? Is he on board with having a baby? Please don't take offense, I am just thinking of what may be best for you.
Avatar f tn I have a question about depression after abortion. I'm 16 years old and I had a non-surgical abortion about 2 months ago. I was 7 weeks and 1 day pregnant. And now its been killing me :( I didn't know the causes of emotional pain people have before I had it. The dad is my boyfriend that I've been with for almost 3 years. He's 19 years old.He was such a sweetheart, but after I messed our relationship up, everything went bad.
Avatar f tn t want this baby to complicate my life anymore than what it is and i was MISERABLE for the first 2 trimesters. I actually went to the abortion clinic and parked. All.i had to do was get out.of the car and walk in. And i am so against abortion for convenience. I thought and thought and drove away. My now ex husband has moved on I have made things official with my bf now fiance, but i have SOO many other issues its ridiculous. This has been the most depressing stressful pregnancy.
885961 tn?1249579803 I was reading in another forum about depression and stress and anxiety attacks because I was looking for something to tell me that either I am normal or that I am not alone in this and noticed many people posted things that are similar to what I have been going through. Just recently in the last couple months I started experiencing Anxiety and OCD again, mild but its still there never the less. I experienced anxiety and OCD when I was a teenager about 15 years old and had an abortion.
Avatar f tn Yes! And I think it only gets worse, sorry to say. Tell your Dr, they could give you an antidepressant because if you have depression before/during pregnancy you're more likely to have post partum.
Avatar f tn m having my child and will be the best mom in the world you should be there for your friend shell need it I lost my best friend after that abortion and that started the drugs if you were really her friend you would be there for her and talk with her make sure she's ok cause she needs someone to tell her things are OK.
Avatar f tn I had a vacuum abortion in July and I was 9 weeks pregnant. Since after the abortion, I been having light periods that lasted 2 days tops. It wasn't until yesterday, I experienced abdominal cramps and a medium/heavy flow but at night it switch to a very light flow. I've been told that its normal to have light periods after an abortion and that your periods should go back to normal after 6 months since the procedure.
Avatar n tn Maybe check out the symptoms of adenomyosis. I happens to your uterus after having a baby and they say having an abotions does the same basic things to you. I'm not sure obviously, but maybe you could compare your symptoms, or even check out endometriosis. Good luck!
Avatar n tn Hey im 20 years old and this is me second pregnancy with 10w, I was planing my pregnancy for a while. I have a beautiful daughter and I didn't want it her brother/sister to be too far from her but I lost my job and I feel like I have lost my will of living, me and my husband were considering abortion for some time but when we see the first ultrasound we couldn't do it. I dont know what to do with my self....
Avatar f tn t mentally hated themselves or regretted their choice after abortion. Have you considered other routes, such as adoption? If you know you can not handle it alone, let someone else care for the child who perhaps can not have children and can give it everything needed. I know you're scared, but oftentimes when you are afraid you make rash choices and look back with regret. Do not make a choice overnight. Only you know what you are capable of and what you can handle.
Avatar f tn My friend herself spoke on the depression she suffered from after her abortions and the lies she was told from the doctors like "Its just a little dot" which her little "dot" by that time actually had a heart beat and was a very developed baby. Abortion can cause infertility. Depression. And much more. But there is good news!
Avatar f tn ve never wanted an abortion but I just wish there was some way out of this. I feel helpless and worthless. Idk what to do anymore.
Avatar m tn but i suffer with severe depression and dont want to bring a child in to this world yet. but i have had an abortion before and dont think i can go through that again. i just really need some help.
Avatar n tn Well I'm not sure of an abortion but I'm going to assume it is like anyone who looses their pregnancy and it takes a while for your HCG levels to reach 0 and until they reach 0 you will continue to have symptoms. After my miscarriage it took 4 weeks for me to show - on a pregnancy test and for them to return to 0.
Avatar n tn I had a medical abortion 4 weeks ago. I was 8 weeks pregnant when I had the abortion. I have been bleeding ever since. I went to the ER and an ultrasound showed retained pregnancy products in my cervix not my uterus. They sent me home and said I would pass it on my own. 5 days later I returned to the ER with similar symptoms as my trip before...bleeding and passing large clots. The ultrasound showed a blood clot in my uterus and active bleeding.
Avatar m tn I found out i was pregnant in the month of januaray, i am thinking about getting abortion but i am worried about what it does to the body. will i be ok after wards? will get some kind of depression? will it affect my next pregnancy when i want the child?
Avatar n tn there are other options than abortion. and in the united states 24 weeks is the limit for an abortion. after 24 weeks it is illegal. before you do have the abortion...here's something about a baby at 18 weeks... Head to rump, your baby is about 5 1/2 inches long (about the length of a bell pepper) and he weighs almost 7 ounces. He's busy flexing his arms and legs — movements that you'll start noticing more and more in the weeks ahead.
Avatar m tn ve known several women who successfully had children after even more than one abortion.
Avatar m tn From what I gathered from the manufacturers website your girlfriend should have taken the abortion pills before 63 days gestation. The fact that she was further along than that may have caused complications. You should really get her to a doctor.
