Question
hey am lizzie i had a abortion not long a go ... but my tummy a bit bigger now and was thinking maby the pills didn't work ? i hope thay didn't ..coz i wish i didn't do it plz wb really need someone to talk to Xxx

Answer
Hello, lizzie,

How far along were you when you took the pills? How long ago was it? Which pills did you take? What kind of bleeding did you have, how much, and when? Did you have cramps? Do you have any cramps now? My heart goes out to you, and I will be here for you. I can't write for very long today, because I will be spending time with family in a little while. It is possible your baby has survived, so we can talk about that. So let me know the answers to my questions, and I will write a longer message later, tonight my time. Please take care. I'll pray for you both.

PS I got home very late, from my family visit, and I'm half unconscious, so I'll wait to hear from you with answers to my questions, and we'll talk again. Take care.

Expertise

I can help women with the consideration of their decision, and with resources, and I can share my own experiences as the mother of seven and grandmother of eleven. My approach is to show love and concern, and help women work through the issues, emotional, spiritual, practical. I also help women deal with boyfriend and family issues. I am not a doctor, but I have done extensive medical research, so I may be able to help with information. I am female. When you write, if you are or were pregnant, please tell me how far along you were or are, and if you have had an abortion, please tell me what kind. Thank you.

Experience

I have been working with women who are considering abortion for several years. I also work with women who have had abortions. Our family has also experienced adoption, so I can talk about that as well.

Education/Credentials
I am mostly self-taught. I also studied midwifery for awhile. I have spent years doing research on this topic. In fact, I have been doing research and working in this area since the early 1970's. I have been helping women online for a few years, under the guidance of a woman who was formally training in counseling.
