Question
I'm 15 years old, and yesterday I found out im 6 weeks pregnant. im gonna have to get an abortion and im scared to death I wish I didn't have to but I can't take care of a child right now. I'm just wondering how is it gonna feel? I heard it's really painful. and is it true I won't be able to have children later on after the abortion? Please tell me what i need to expect, how it's gonna feel and the side effects.

Dear Stephanie,
Thank you for your question. I hope I can help you in some way. I would like to send you some resources and websites if you will email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com

I have a couple of friends who have had abortions and yes, it does hurt. And there are also many side effects and risks to consider for yourself as well. And yes, it is a possibility that you wouldn't be able to have children later on. I'm not sure on the percentage of that but I can check it out for you if you like. Your baby at 6 weeks is already developing. I would suggest you doing some research on the internet. So hope to hear from you soon at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com
You can always parent your baby yourself or find a married couple who would love your little boy or girl and want a child badly. Please check out other options before making that final choice for abortion. Thanks for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
