The issue of pregnancy after abortion is one that concerns many women who have chosen to terminate unwanted pregnancies at some earlier point in their lives. As life circumstances change, many women find themselves in the position of desiring to marry and begin families. At such times, suppressed emotions surrounding a prior decision to terminate a pregnancy can rise to the surface. Fear over physical limitations that may be the result of previous abortions can also cause a great deal of stress. Ideally, these issues will have been considered before decisions to terminate pregnancies were made. This is not generally the case, however. Often as not, the more pressing immediate needs that women faced during initial unwanted pregnancies will take top priorities. Subsequent feelings of regret or concern over the ability to bear a child to term will frequently later surface, causing anguish and concern for a woman and her family. Generally speaking, an abortion will in most cases not prevent a woman from becoming pregnant later in life. But that is not to say that there are no physical problems that are associated with pregnancy after abortion.
There can, in fact, be certain physical and emotional problems that can arise for women concerned about pregnancy after abortion when the time for starting a family does arrive. For example, if a scaring if the uterine lining occurred during the abortion, this can be a serious issue. Once a woman has failed to conceive after a total of three ovulation cycles, she should be examined by a specialist in the reproductive field. If scarring has occurred, this can be determined through a simple test. This test may involve an injection of saline into the uterus. Such injections make it possible for the physician to detect any scarring that may be present. Scaring can block the fallopian tubes and render a woman infertile. Surgical procedures may be able to repair such blockage and make it possible for the woman to become pregnant and carry a child to term. Other pregnancy after abortion concerns can include an increased risk of bleeding before the twenty eighth week of gestation. Issues regarding retention of the placenta have also been reported to occur more frequently among women have previously had abortions. There is debate about whether or not previous abortions can create a greater risk of low birth weight, but there seems to be little evidence to support such an assertion.
Perhaps the greatest risk associated with pregnancy after abortion is that of future emotional problems. In most cases, the decision to abort a child is a result outside situations and pressures. These social reasons may include a separation from the father of the child or pressure from the father or other family members to undergo an abortion. Making such a decision while under pressure from others is very likely to result in second thoughts, not to mention possible guilt and shame later on. Women who are facing pregnancies that are unplanned may feel that their options are limited. Unfortunately, sufficient information on the long term emotional toll that such a decision can take on a woman's emotional well being are often not provided by abortion proponents. For this reason, any woman who is contemplating terminating a pregnancy should seek counsel and help from a source that will offer a complete and informed picture of the long term ramifications that abortions can represent.
Even pro abortion organizations have been forced to admit that women who have terminated pregnancies end up dealing with some very serious guilt issues when they are ready to start a family. Preparing for a planned pregnancy after abortion will usually necessitate dealing some very tough mental health concerns. The notion that choosing to terminate unwanted an pregnancy will simply wipe away any problems that the unplanned child could create can only be described as short sided and completely false. Frequently, a woman will find out too late that abortions do not simply erase the problem, but instead result in a whole new set of issues that may take years to resolve. The guilt and shame that many women report years after abortions have taken place can have a major impact on the lives of these women and on those who love them.
In addition to risks pertaining to pregnancy after abortion, cases of clinical depression among women who have terminated pregnancies may also be higher. This is particularly true of women who aborted first pregnancies. If a woman finds that she is pregnant for the first time and that this child is unplanned, the choice to carry the infant to term or to abort it can have a major impact on future mental health. According to reports by the British Medical Journal, women who chose to carry the child to term and give birth have a lower chance of experiencing clinical depression when compared to women who chose to terminate first pregnancies. Another factor that seemed to increase the likelihood of clinical depression seemed to be the marital status of women who had undergone abortions. Married women who had experienced abortions were more likely to show symptoms of clinical depression within eight years. For these women, counseling and medical treatment are generally necessary. Women with a strong faith may be more likely to find help from the emotional issues that may be associated with pregnancy after abortion. The Bible promises believers that if they seek God first in their lives, other things will fall into place. "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." (Matthew 6:33)
