Question
Hi Stephen, my name is Michelle and I regretfully had an abortion 2 weeks ago.  I was wondering if I were to get pregnant ASAP. what the chances were that the baby would be the same soul.Or would I have a better chance if I were to wait until the exact same time I conceived  next year.

Answer
Hi Michelle,

First of all, obviously there are a whole host of unanswered questions about your circumstances which I can't address here, as to why you would have an abortion and want to get pregnant two weeks later. I am not sure about even the medical advisability of such a thing, but I would suggest you check into that.

From my understanding, it is quite possible for a soul to come back after either an abortion, a miscarriage, or an early death (as for example, crib death). I have read accounts where a young child will say something to the effect, "I was here before but this-or-that happened and I had to leave, and now I'm back."

The best book I know of that talks about souls getting reincarnated back into their family circle is "Return From Heaven" by Carol Bowman. I can't remember for sure, but one of these accounts I read may be in that book.

However, so far as I know, the speed with which you become pregnant again has absolutely nothing to do with it. The ball is in the other court, as it were--the other person is the one that decides. I don't know whether they have a completely free hand in deciding. There may be rules or constraints of some kind. But if they are allowed to come back, and if they choose to come back, so far as I know, they can do it in a year, or two years, or five years. Or they can be born to a relative, for that matter. For the matter of that, karma is so powerful that if you never got pregnant and none of your relatives ever became pregnant, but if you were destined to meet this soul, they could get born to someone in South America and that family could move in next door and you could end up being their babysitter or talking to the kid over the fence. I'm not exaggerating.

I would suggest not getting pregnant out of a feeling of guilt. Give yourself time to sort out your feelings and take stock of your entire situation. That soul, whoever it is, has all the time in the world and there is no "rapidly closing window" to worry about that will prevent them from coming back if they so-choose and assuming the rules, if there are indeed rules, permit them to do so.

Let me know if this hasn't answered your question fully.

Best regards,
Stephen
