Answer
Hello, Mariam,

Trying to have an abortion to hide your pregnancy is not a good idea. If you have a complication, they'll find out. In this case, I am most concerned about heavy bleeding or hemorrhage. That can kill a woman. The best remedy for that is probably cayenne. That's red hot peppers. Most people can get this either in food or by capsule. The other dangers, which you still may face, are rupture of the uterus (which may have already happened), and toxic shock syndrome, especially if you took pills vaginally. If you experience any kind of symptoms, someone needs to take you to the emergency room immediately, and doctors need to be asked to look for toxic shock syndrome. It is rare for the staff of an emergency room to diagnose the problem before it kills the woman. I don't know of a remedy you can simply get and drink. I'm not sure there is one.

You took your life into your hands. I hope you will be all right, and I will pray for you. Please keep in touch and let me know how you do.

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.
