History of Abortions

April 11, 2007

Does a history of abortions affect having a normal birth when you are ready to have a baby. I have one child and she is healthy. but we are pregnant again. and i have had a few abortions. i am very scared.

Unfortunately, there is much misinformation out there when it comes to this subject. There is minimal to no scientific data substantiating that there are negative outcomes for a pregnancy after induced abortions. I think you're going to be Ok and your previous history has minimal bearing to your current pregnancy state. People who may have problems develop conditions such as Asherman's Syndrome (not common) but they would have difficulty achieving a pregnacy (but can be fixed) or getting periods because of this. I'm hopeful that soon enough you'll be able to enjoy your child upon his/her birth and please keep us posted.
