Answer
Hello, sonal,

The mere fact that you are not ready for a child right now is a terrible reason for risking your life! In other words, you need some perspective. Few people are ready for a child when the woman first becomes pregnant. By the time the baby is born, most people are ready. There is also help available in some parts of India, to meet your needs so you can be ready. I may be able to find an organization near you that will help you. If it still doesn't seem reasonable to have a child, you can choose adoption. It is much safer.

The fact is, you HAVE (or had) a child. The only question is whether or not you have a living child or a dead one. These pills are very dangerous. There are women bleeding to death in India after taking these pills. They can also cause a deadly infection that can kill a woman within hours. They can cause a woman to get breast cancer. 1/4 of the victims of this type of breast cancer are killed by it. They can cause a woman's uterus to rupture. The manufacturer of one of the pills says a pregnant woman should NEVER take it. The people who market these pills for abortion are totally irresponsible and without honor.

Nobody is going to be able to tell you over the internet why you didn't get the bleeding you expected. You need to go to a doctor to find that out. By now, you should have other symptoms of pregnancy if you are still pregnant. You can let me know about that.

I am answering questions because abortion hurts women. I don't want you to get hurt. I don't help women hurt themselves.

I realize this isn't what you want to hear, but I'm not going to tell you something that violates my integrity. Please take care of yourself and don't take any more chances! Please.

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.
