Q: I Have a Question

I had an abortion about 5 months ago and it was the biggest mistake I have ever made. I regret it every day. I cant handle it. I am scared though because the past few periods of mine my stomach has been getting really bloated about a week befor each period and it gets bigger as my period goes by. Ive never gotten bloated during periods. Is this normal? I havent been able to get to the doctor because im afraid. I didnt go to my check up because I never want to go to that clinic again because it was horrible and disgusting. So many girls were in there all acting casually about getting an abortion it was gross. The waiting room was full and crowded with girls. It was sad. I regret my abortion so much I cant deal with it.

Yes, you can get bloated while on your period but my suggestion would be to get checked out by the dr as it could be something else. Are you on b/c? I am sorry you chose the wrong place or they chose the wrong place to have the abortion and you feel it was a big mistake, others do not feel that way. You can call and make an appt. With your other ob/gyn she/he or primary care Dr. They will probably want to see you and let them know about your bad experience with the clinic as you need to vent and move on, abortion, adoption or carrying on with the pregnancy is never an easy decision if in doubt, you did what you did for a reason and it takes time to heal. We are here for you and their is help on the out side as well.
Good luck!
Keep us posted! We care!

I agree with sandyallen. Despite your fears, you do need to go get checked out, especially since you skipped your check-up!
