Question
I am 14 week pregnant and i am thinking about termination of pregnancy as one of my options. Should i worry about health problems or be concerned about the procedure if i decide to have it done since i am getting farther along.

Answer
Hi Faith,

In my opinion, abortion is risky to your health and more so as time goes on. You are approximately 3 and a half months pregnant, from my quick calculation, and so past the first trimester. I would recommend that you join the yahoo group for unplanned pregnancies. You can talk to other women there in the same situation or they have been in the past. They can give you advice and support. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/unplanned_pregnancy_help/
There is also a board at http://www.voy.com/66018 that is less popular but you could probably get a response there. Also, you can go back to allexperts.com and ask a question of Pat. She is a very dependable and likeable help. My email is DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and I hope you will email me as soon as possible. Would love to help.
Oh, and I hope this is not too many resources but you can find a pregnancy resource center in your area, hopefully. Go to http://www.optionline.org or call 1-800-395-HELP. If not in U.S. go to http://www.heartbeatinternational.org/worldwide_directory.asp
Write soon

Sincerely,
