Is An Abortion 6 Months After Previous Abortion Harmful?

Hi I m thinking of having an abortion, my girl is 20 month, I just want to give all my attention to her. Just now I found out I m pregnant, but I had one abortion in February already, really worried if I have another abortion in half year, is that going to harm my health and what if I want to have a second child? Please help

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,
I can understand your problem.
Abortion has its minor health issues which resolve on its own in majority of the cases.
Abortion very early in the pregnancy has fewer complications compared to later in pregnancy.
If you and your better half are sure about not continuing the pregnancy , consult a gynecologist and the doctor would prescribe u medications which you will have to take orally and per vaginally.
I would suggest you to follow a proper contraceptive method to prevent conception in future.
Intra uterine device would be ideal mode of contraception which gives you benefit of spacing the child and its a one time insertion. It is useful for upto 5 yrs usually.
Hope you are satisfied with the guidance.
Do revert for any other queries
