It May Be Too Late...

So I just found out 2 days ago that I may
be about 28 weeks pregnant. No, I had no
idea whatsoever..I had no symptoms or
signs, and I had my period (twice-which I
paid no mind to the lack of regularity as
my cycle has never been regular in any way
shape or form)...There is no way I can
afford to take care of a child, I really
have no want to be pregnant at all, and
with a car accident I was in a few years
back ,the pregnancy may be very
complicated and painful..I have no idea
what to do as I am being told by many
different clinics in my area it is too
late to consider abortion...

Hi there and welcome! If you talk to the
dr's about the situation, they can keep
you fairly comfortable. Have you thought
about adoption? You might think of going
to social services and see if they can
help you, they should be able to give you
some information on who to talk to. If
they did do a c-section on you, you would
not feel anything until you woke up but
their is always a possibility just like
any other surgery of having scar tissue
later which can be painful but we all are
different. I am sorry about your
situation and even though it is late in
the situation, I do hope that you have had
your pre-natal visit and have started on
your pre-natal vitamins.
Good luck to you!

An aboriton so late is very expensive, not
covered by medicaid, and you need health
reasons to have one.
Adoption may in fact be your only option,
I am so sorry.

I don't want to sound like a nut case, but
all i've felt is unhappy and severely
depressed since I found out 3 days ago. I
literally sometimes just want to die so I
don't have to worry about having this
child. I've been diagnosed with severe
depression (and have attempted suicide 3
times in the past year) and this is just
adding to it..I don't want this child at
all and the fact that everywhere I turn
people tell me I have to go through with
it makes me feel sick...I don't know...

Your only option to have an aboriton would
be for meidcal reasons..And an aboriton so
late would cost thousands! You would have
to travel to colorado, or one other state
that has a doctor who could do it.
Are you sue you are that late?? Have you
had an ultrasound yet? That is the only
way to know for sure..

this is a list of abortion clinics..The
latest goes up to 28 weeks electively, but
if you suffer from depression, and have
the money, you could get one very late.

Yes, I also think, that having found out
about pregnancy in such late time you
can't be so sure about how many weeks you
are pregnant... Anyway, I wish you good
luck. And please remember, if you can't
change your situation, then change your
view towards it.

I am wondering if she is really 28
weeks... She may only be 20-24 weeks..If
so then she could get an abortion by
travelling....
But you need to find out asap...
They date pregnancy by last menstrual
cycle ususally, but if you have irregular
periods, it can throw dates off.

I live in nc.. Not too far from ohio =)
there is a clinic in dayton ohio that does
abortions until 24 weeks..It is expensive
though...
There are cheaper clinics that go pretty
far in pregnancy in bigger cities, if you
can travel =)
i am crossing my fingers that you are only
about 19 weeks pregnant!

Hmmm...
If you are just getting chubby you may
still be early enough for an abortion.
I know that a lot of women say they are
getting'chubby' at only 13-15 weeks..
Are you getting the ultarsound at an
abortion clinic, or a regular gyn doc?
If you are just now getting chubby, you
may be early enough to have an abortion.
At 28 weeks you would be quite large! So
there may still be hope..
There are a lot of abortion clinics that
do not charge a whole lot for a 20 week
abortion, so if you are under 20 weeks and
need help, let me know =) I can try and
help find you clinics , and costs..

Well, after a long weekend of pulling
strings and calling every pregnancy
center/ abortion clinic in the area, I
managed to be able to schedule an
ultrasound this afternoon instead of
waiting until friday...Wish me luck
everyone, I hope there will be good news!

I will warn you, some pregnancy centers
are pro life!!! They will give you an
ultrasound, but also push adoption! You
do not have to listen though.

I am between 26-28 weeks. I may have to
have a c section within 3-4 weeks, and
they will then put it into adoption.
