I am 23 and married for almost 2 years. I had my abortion on September 29/07. This was a planned pregnancy, we've been together for 4 years and decided to try. We got pregnant on the first try! We were so excited! the first few weeks were great, we had just bought a new townhouse with extra bedroom for the baby, our marriage is great! then it hit me, the morning sickness just a little at first then all day!!! i quit my job because i was going to be a stay at home mom anyways, I was admitted into the hospital at 7 weeks i stayed there for 2weeks sick they eventually found a chemo drug that delt with the nauseous feeling but i just couldn't stop throwing up, they didn't know what to do. I was into stage 3 high risk prescribed drugs before they did the tests i had alot of keytones which means my body was eating itself to try and support the baby! i lost 20 lbs and i didn't have alot extra to begin with, my veins couldn't support the drugs they were giving me so the put in a pick line a large tube that travels up you arm and shoulder so that the viens won't break anymore i went through 14 Iv's in 12 days. i had no veins left, the baby was okay but they wanted me in the hospital for the next 5-7 weeks and i was still so sick, i didn't know what to do i felt like the drugs i had to take were hurting the baby and that even the high risk ones weren't doing alot and i was so tired and so sick and my husband was so worried about me i didn't know what else to do so i had an abortion at 11 weeks and now i miss my baby, you never really get to say goodbye and i'll never get to hold him, i just keep picturing him crying for his mommy and he's scared and alone and i just want to be there with him. My husband is amazing and i can't complain we are actually closer then ever but i just don't think he can possibly feel the way that i do. I just want to stop crying and feel better but i don't know if i can! i miss him and i want him back i feel like i gave up and i'm so ashamed!

Dear Mable,

I'm so sorry for your loss. Please take the time to also visit this site:

http://www.safehavenministries.com/

It has more activity than this one here.

You may also want to look up a center near you that does post-abortion counseling - check this site for a place near you. They have FREE counseling services and it can be very healing to attend.

www.optionline.org

I'm so sorry for your loss. Should you decide to try again, I'd recommend that you would do some big time detoxing first and make sure you're eating right and taking good vitamins. I think our bodies react to pregnancies as stern gaurdians would and that the nausea and vomitting were a purging of impurities you have collected. (IMHO). I had two pregnancies that came with severe nausea, and when I look back, I think it was from toxins my bosy purged at the time. I did not have life threatening nausea like you did though.

I hope you find your path to healing -

Hugs,
Kris
