So can I terminate this pregnancy by taking medicine. Bcoz I don't think so I can have surgical abortion bcoz my baby was born thorugh a cesearen section. So help me fast.

Answer
G'day, gurung,

Abortion can kill you, and those pills cause a lot of women to bleed to death. They also cause an infection that can kill a woman within hours. Your baby needs you. You should NOT take such a chance! What would happen to your baby if the pills kill you?

I even know abortionists who won't use the pills because they are so dangerous. That said, surgical abortion isn't an answer either. If you survive a surgical abortion, your future children might not. Or they could develop a serious birth defect.

Why don't you want to have a baby? A year apart is actually a good age. I have two children who are 14 months apart, and when they were little, they were best friends. The older one would climb into the crib at night, put her arm around her brother, and they'd sleep that way. And as far as your body being able to have another baby, yes, you can.

This is your baby's sibling and needs your protection. Please don't hurt your younger child.

If there is another reason you don't want to have another baby, let me know. We can talk about it.

Please stay safe! Let me know what happens. I will be here for you.
