When i was very young i got pregnant. I didn't listen to my mothers advice about not having sex until marriage I especially didn't listen to the lord's commandment about not to fornicate. But i did anyway, I didn't realize the horrific consequence that was going to follow after the decision of having an abortion. It was the sadest day of my life. When my mother found out she said I needed to get an abortion, I remember i cried and begged her to not let me go through with it. When i went to the abortion clinic I remember a lady asking me questions. I remember crying and telling this lady not to ever have an abortion and she looked at me sadly. I want to let everyone know that there are grave consequences after having an abortion, it can be immediately or months or even years of you regretting having an abortion. There is depression, anxiety, sadness, not wanting to live, low-self esteem, and even the ability of not having children ever again, or miscarriages. Years later i got married and had two misscarriages my doctor said when you have an abortion it is like a train starting slowly, then picking up full speed and stop all of a sudden, you can imagine right. That is how the body reacts physically and psychologically. Please do not have an abortion. read the information on my page and some of my friends myspaces. And remember if you did it already ask the Lord Jesus to forgive you and to heal your emotion. Ask the Lord Jesus to enter your heart and forgive you for all your sins because Jesus died on the cross for you so you can be in heaven with him for all eternity.I now have 4 girls, astep-son and a wonderful man of God. I thank God daily for my family, and I pray that you can have a bless family as well!My mother also serves the Lord and has forgiveness. She also had tremedous regretts for almost 20 Years and God healed Her emotions as well.If you are a christian and feel guilt and comdemnation don't, because if you ask for forgiven He washed you with his blood and it is erased. You might still feel the pain when you remember or are addictict to things and wonder why it is because you still remember the pain. Tell the Lord to help you recover, cry to Him with all your heart you probably hav'nt greived yet. You can also go to a Christian councellor, or pastor. Look for testimonys of christian of past abortions it will help tremendously you may be healed instantly, a couple of weeks, or even a couple of months, but day by day you will gain strenghth. trust in the Lord you can do it friend, sister or even brother.Immediate Risks of Abortion Some side effects may occur with induced abortion. These include abdominal pain and cramping, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. In most abortions, no serious complications occur. However, complications may happen in as many as 1 out of every 100 early abortions and in about 1 out of every 50 later abortions.Such complications may include: Heavy Bleeding - Some bleeding after abortion is normal. There is, however, a risk of hemorrhage, especially if the uterine artery is torn. When this happens, a blood transfusion may be required. Infection - Bacteria may get into the uterus from an incomplete abortion resulting in infection. A serious infection may lead to persistent fever over several days and extended hospitalization. Incomplete Abortion - Some fetal parts may not be removed by the abortion. Bleeding and infection may occur. RU486 may fail in up to 1 out of every 20 cases. Allergic Reaction to Drugs - An allergic reaction to anesthesia used during abortion surgery may result in convulsions, heart attack and, in extreme cases, death. Tearing of the Cervix - The cervix may be cut or torn by abortion instruments. Scarring of the Uterine Lining - Suction tubing, curettes, and other abortion instruments may cause permanent scarring of the uterine lining. Perforation of the Uterus - The uterus may be punctured or torn by abortion instruments. The risk of this complication increases with the length of the pregnancy. If this occurs, major surgery, including a hysterectomy, may be required. Damage to Internal Organs - When the uterus is punctured or torn, there is also a risk that damage will occur to nearby organs such as the bowel and bladder. Death - In extreme cases, other physical complications from abortion including excessive bleeding, infection, organ damage from a perforated uterus, and adverse reactions to anesthesia may lead to death. This complication is very rare and occurs, on average, in less than 20 cases per year. Other Risks of Abortion Abortion and Breast Cancer Medical experts are still researching and debating the linkage between abortion and breast cancer. However, a 1994 study in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute found: "Among women who had been pregnant at least once, the risk of breast cancer in those who had experienced an induced abortion was 50% higher than among other women."Here are more important facts:Carrying a pregnancy to full term gives protection against breast cancer that cannot be gained if abortion is chosen. Abortion causes a sudden drop in estrogen levels that may make breast cells more susceptible to cancer. Most studies conducted so far show a significant linkage between abortion and breast cancer. Effect on Future Pregnancy Scarring or other injury during an abortion may prevent or place at risk future wanted pregnancies. The risk of miscarriage is greater for women who abort their first pregnancy.Emotional Impact Some women experience strong negative emotions after abortion. Sometimes this occurs within days and sometimes it happens after many years. This psychological response is known as Post-Abortion Stress (PAS). Several factors that impact the likelihood of Post-Abortion Stress include: the woman's age, the abortion circumstances, the stage of pregnancy at which the abortion occurs, and the woman's religious beliefs.Post-Abortion Stress Symptoms Guilt Anger Anxiety Depression Suicidal Thoughts Anniversary Grief Flashbacks of Abortion Sexual Dysfunction Relationship Problems Eating Disorders Alcohol and Drug Abuse Psychological Reactions After AbortionAfter an abortion, many women report severe emotional problems. As they process their guilt and grief, the problems are so common that they have been termed "Post-Abortion Stress." This disorder describes a woman's need to process the fear, anger, sadness and guilt surrounding her abortion, grieve the loss of her baby, and come to peace with God, herself, and others involved in the abortion decision.Symptoms of Post-Abortion Stress (PAS): Guilt - feeling that she had broken her own moral code Anxiety - an unpleasant emotional and physical state of apprehension such as tension, dizziness, pounding heart, irritability, headaches, and upset stomach Psychological "numbing" - to avoid future painful situations by trying to keep her emotions on a flat level to avoid experiencing neither highs nor lows Depression and thoughts of suicide - a mood filled with sadness, hopelessness, sudden and uncontrollable crying episodes, sleep problems, changes in appetite, sexual disturbances or lack of motivation Anniversary syndrome - increased PAS symptoms around the time of the anniversary of the abortion and/or the due date of the aborted child Re-experiencing the abortion - sudden distressing, recurring flashbacks of the abortion episode triggered by a routine gynecological exam, the suction sound of a vacuum cleaner, or nightmares Preoccupation with becoming pregnant again - many women become pregnant within one year of their abortion, the new pregnancy is often called the "makeup baby" Anxiety over fertility and childbearing issues Interruption of the bonding process - with present and/or future children: not allowing herself to become properly bonded to another pregnancy because of fear of loss, or trying to make up by becoming the "perfect mother" Survival guilt - overcompensating to try and make up for being the survivor Development of eating disorders Alcohol and drug abuse Other self-punishing or self-degrading behaviors Post-Abortion Recovery Support If you could be suffering from Post-Abortion Stress, The Center offers a post-abortion recovery program called PACE to help women process their feelings of past abortions in a safe and loving environment. The PACE groups focus on working through denial, dealing with anger, and receiving forgiveness from God to bring hope and healing for women whose lives have been affected by post-abortion stress.Call our confidential voicemail at 509-545-4499 or email us for more information about when groups will be starting.For more information: Stand Up Girl Parenting Choosing to keep your baby is an important decision and a responsibility that TCPN supports with a variety of programs and services. ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------Adoption One of the more difficult situations a woman can face is an unplanned pregnancy, especially if she is young and single. ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------Sexual Health Learn more about sexual health and how to protect yourself. ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------Healthy Relationships Learn more about A.W.A.R.E., Worth Waiting For, Girl's 180 Club, and our Teen Boutique.
