Q: Abortion, pregnant and abnormal smear

Im new here. i apologise if this is confusing (and long) but need some advice.

I have 3 children already. Boy 3 and twins almost 2.
Last August i had a medical abortion as we couldnt finacially afford another child.

I have recently found out that im pregnant again (unplanned) and my partner feels that another abortion is the way to go. W e are also due to get married soon so if i did go ahead with the pregnancy we would have to cancel the wedding etc.

Anyway, after alot of consideration i decided that i would have another abortion and im due to go for my consultation on friday (i will be about 7 weeks)

THEN..... this morning i recieved my smear test results which i had in december, and it says i need to go for a colposcopy and maybe need treatment on the cervix.

I am now really worried that having 2 abortions and then a colposcopy so close together will do damage to my cervix and future fertilty as i would like a fourth child in the future when we can finacially support another one and the other children are older.

Im so confused and scared scared

ABORTION does not 'damage' your cervix when performed properly.

'Incompetent cervix' can happen to anyone, even women who have never been pregnant.

TO be honest, surgical is technically safer than medical, and it is faster and painless thanks to IV sedation.

BOTH medical and surgical abortion are safe, it is just a matter of preference as to whether you want the abortion at home or at the clinic.
