Hello there,

I had an abortion last Saturday.

(And before anyone tries to talk smack about it, the reason I had to do it was because two weeks before that, we found out what it was....a beautiful baby boy And there were concerns with the ultrasound...after Christmas, found out that it has trisomy 18 which means 100% of babies don't survive....yeah, it us VERY hard....well they said a lot of them end in still labor or survive just a few minutes, or few weeks [no more than 2-3 months] after birth....i wouldn't be able to handle giving birth and it dying in my arms...and the risk of it putting me in still labor and damaging me in some way.....so I'm not happy at all about having this abortion, but the good thing is that I have a 99% chance to conceive again and the baby not have this.)

So anyways, my bleeding subsided two to three days after, and I haven't had any physical symptoms or anything. I feel great actually (besides the emotional rollercoaster I've been on).

Earlier today, me and my fiance had sex but he pulled out. The doctor's said wait at least 2 weeks after and it's only been one week. I know it was stupid to have it, but with these emotions going wild, I needed that physical connection.

Well, a few hours later, I started light bleeding again. I understand that I'll bleed off and on, but I've also got slight feeling of diarrea (sp?), and now it's subsided a bit. The blood is red just like when I get my period.

And we ARE wanting to get pregnant again as soon as we can because we are definately ready for a child.

I'm also curious about getting pregnant after an abortion. If I get pregnant from having sex today, would that be damaging to myself? What would be my chances of having a miscarriage?

Thank you for your time and in helping me.
