Planning a baby after an abortion

[hotpink]

My husband and I have been together for 5 years and are so much in love and so settled in our lives that we are seriously thinking about 'planning a family' in the near future. For the right reasons, I had an abortion a couple of years ago because we both agreed it was the right thing to do. And I don't regret it AT ALL. But the thought of pregnancy now scares me so much - as I was 11 weeks when I had an abortion and was starting to show, and had terrible sickness day and night. I really do want to start a family soon, but the memories of being pregnant before were horrible. Has anyone been in a similar situation?

Hi,

I haven't been in a similar situation myself, but i think that if you dont think about the negative things during the pregnancy, it will feel a lot better than before.

Talk to your GP, get some advice etc.

Im sure you're not alone in these kinda situations.

The fact that you thought it was the wrong time for you last time probably blocked the good feelings of being pregnant. This time if the baby is planned, then you accept the sickness and anything else it throws at you to get to the end result. Best of Luck.
