Question
im planning of having an abortion.... is it the same as giving birth? or you don't have to wait 40 days until you're completely ready to get back to your regular life??

Answer
Hello Melissa,

Thanks for your question. I would like to recommend going to http://www.optionline.org to find more information about abortion-the risks and side effects. Or call 1-800-395-HELP. Have you confirmed your pregnancy with a official pregnancy test? I would like you to email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com so we can talk more about options.
No, abortion is not the same as giving birth. I'm unsure what you are asking about the 40 days so please ask a followup question or email me. P.S. What kind of abortion are you planning to have?

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
