Thank you

ANSWER: Dear Rani,
There is no possibility of the doctor finding out if you had an abortion.  You do not need to tell the doctor, and they cannot find out by doing an examination.  There is no medical reason to tell them.  Prior abortions do not affect pregnancies, and everything should be fine.  Good luck to you both!

Answer
Dear Rani,
There is absolutely no way the doctor can find out that you had an abortion.  There is absolutely no problem with your pregnancy that is related to using contraceptive pills, or having an abortion.  Any medical concerns you are having are related to the current pregnancy, not because of what you did in the past.
Good luck with your pregnancy. The best thing you can do is feel confident that you have not done anything wrong, and your body is perfectly ready to carry a pregnancy.  
I hope this is helpful,
