Hi.. I had my abortion in feb this year at 17 weeks. Common sense is telling me I had it done because I felt it wasnt the right time to have a baby... So why have I got such a strong urge to become pregnant again?? :(..... I wake up every day fighting this and its getting harder andmaking me more depressed...

Lissy darling, you are not alone. I am experiencing the same thing and even found myself looking for information today if it is ok to get pregnant stright after abortion. I believe it is all because of hormones that will release your body in 6-12 months. Please think carefully, if your situation changed enough for you to have baby now. I would like to be still pregnant (or pregnant again) but when remember that I didn't plan it and it was unexpected and scary so I always try to think would I feel the same negative emotions if pregnant again? Then I come to conclusion that yes, I would, and I don't wanna be stuck again...

Thank u for the reply hun...I understand what ur saying.....And my common sense tells me it too soon..... I mean I wold have been due in 18 days time so if I did get pregnant now... Then technically I could have kept the baby that would have been due this month!!! And like u,i have been sufing the net the last couple of days to find info on if its ok to get pregnant so soon... Ive also noticed the urge is stronger the week before and the 5 days of my period..Is it the same for u??

Ladies, many women who have aboritons do want a baby later in life!
It is very normal to have your hormones tell you that you want a baby, but your common sense knows better.

You have to know that it is good to listen to yourself, but if you are not ready to have a baby then you should wait.

A lot of teens will go thorugh a hormonal period soemtimes where they want a baby at 16! They know they are not ready, (some actually think they are), but they still have a baby because their hormones think it is cute.

In reality, a baby is hard work and expensive...
