Pregnancy after abortion sadness ?

[LydiaRebecca14]

Hello. Please don't judge me x

Recently had a medical abortion at 6 weeks...

It was a hard choice to say the least. I already have 3 children, I work full time, just moved house so felt it was the wrong time.
The day after I felt heart wrenched.
My partner really wanted another baby (he's a great man)

I feel sad and guilty. Some days I lay in bed and just cry my heart out. My partner is very loving & supportive and says we'll try again.
I regret it whole heartedly and wish I'd of been stronger at the time. Honestly I hate myself. I've sunk into depression and I'm being so hard on myself. I feel I deserve the ultimate punishment.

The only way I'll heal is to have a baby now.

Question is... did anyone get pregnant quickly after an abortion? I'd love to hear positive stories.

Thanks in advance, any abuse I receive I know I deserve x

Hi Lydia,
I am honestly so sorry for your loss. I know many people who have been through abortion who can relate to what you are saying. Please know there is hope and healing. Please check out https://www.postabortsupport.org.uk/ who support women who have been through abortion. It is certainly possible to get pregnant again soon after an abortion. But please also seek healing for yourself as you are going through a grieving process with complexities.
With love and prayers x

I got pregnant 4 months after an abortion. I felt exactly like you. Please forgive yourself. It's hard I still think about what baby may have been like and I regret it. But it wasn't my fault as I didn't have the support. Hope God helps me see that baby after life. I had really bad hyperemesis with the baby I terminated almost to the point I felt suicidal and didn't want to live. I panicked and thought what have I done.

I've had another baby now after the abortion. It did heal what I did but I still think about that baby. If you want a baby then try for one. My thinking wa strange. I was so traumatised and thought why couldn't I hack the sickness. I prayed to God to give me a baby and I'd take any pain that came with it. Even the hypermesis. I got pregnant but was more prepared in dealing with the sickness.
