Question
Can I continue my pregnancy without major birth defects after taking abortion pill and it failed. Sonogram showed I am still pregnant less than 7 weeks.

Answer
Hi Tere,

I would advise that you talk to your regular doctor if not the one who advised you to take the abortion pill. If you need a referral, contact a pregnancy resource center and see what they can tell you.
http://www.optionline.org or call 1-800-395-HELP. Tell them the whole situation and they should be able to help. Or you can try this website
http://www.heartbeatinternational.org/worldwide_directory.asp

Also, join this group and ask the women there
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/unplanned_pregnancy_help/
There are some really well-informed women on there.
I would love for you to email me as well at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com

Sincerely,
