Abortion Related Query : please advice
It is not related to medical query. Just an emotional query. I am having 3 years kid. 6 months back I had conceived which we were not expecting and it was fully unplanned, still not sure how it happened. Initially we thought we will continue. But at that time my first kid was 2.8 yrs and he was taking breast feed. We tried to stop breastfeed, but suddenly it was very difficult to stop as he cried all over the night and at 2.8yrs he was not mature enough to understand the things & we felt bad for him. Also, we stay alone outside & no one here to support us. Considering above all factors we decided to abort and did it on 5th week by taking medicine given by doctor. After that my husband felt bad, guilt & depression. Considering emotional breakdown, we stopped breastfeed to our kid after 4 months post abortion & trying to conceive since last 3 cycle. Had we killed a life in 5th week? Have you done wrong by abortion considering my first kid factors? Please provide your honest opinion on it

The first thing is breastfeeding a child of 2.8 years is a very bad idea
Second abortion is not the reason for your inability to conceive this time

Pls don't overthink.. getting an abortion done because u were breastfeeding is not necessary... U could have consulted a gynaecologist for better advise before deciding to terminate the pregnancy... But once done cannot be reversed... So stop feeling guilty and start afresh... Start taking folic acid supplements...

What is wrong here is breastfeeding a 2.8 yr old kid.
He should take full diet as you.
This was not a reason to justify the abortion in any way.But what has happened cant be reversed.so
U can plan a pregnancy again.
