Question
hi i had an unwanted abortion on august 13, 2008. i didn't choice to have this done but i was forced by my partner who didn't want to do it either. the reason he did cause he wanted lots and lots of money. anyway, i was 15-16 weeks  into my pregnancy and there were complications during the procedure.  i really wanted to have this baby more than anything in the world. i was told to wait 2 weeks before going about my regular activity but i have read on the Internet that you can attend to your normal activity as less as 1 week. i want to know if its safe for me to do so in 1 week or should i wait until 2 weeks since there was complications? also, i want to know if i would able to become pregnant again eventhough there were complications? i really want to. everybody know how important for me to and that i wanted this all my life. but like i said my partner forced me to abort this that would have been my 1st child because HE was not ready.

Answer
Hi Saima,

I am so sorry to hear your story. I found your question in the question pool. Someone whom you asked the question wasn't able to answer for some reason. So I got the question and now it's about 2 weeks since you posted this. Please email me and tell me what's been happening with you.
I do post abortion counseling so I will be glad to talk to you more.
My email address is DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and please put ALLEXPERTS in the subject line. It really is somewhat inadvisable to become pregnant again this soon but with counseling, you will be able to understand your feelings better. I could talk more but I think it's better if you email me privately. Please email me as soon as possible.
