    My best friend actually tried the jumping up and down thing once when she thought she was pregnant. As it turned out, she just had a really screwed up menstration cycle. I suppose that's a good thing, because as I tried to tell her then- "You're just making your fetus dizzy!"

    That was a really freaky time, though...

    My problem with Weed is that she provides NO sources of research. All her information is anecdotal, and in the newer version of the book she totally eliminates any aborficants from the book. She claims she changed her mind about ending pregnancy with herbs and doesn't think it should be done.

    I've also read very untrue outdated info about breastfeeding in her books. They are interesting to read, but I wouldn't use them instead of real medical help. Ending a pregnancy can be dangerous for the womyn if she isn't being taken care of by someone who really knows what they are doing. It IS a medical situation and I think that, whether it is done via drugs or surgery, it should be done by someone who is medically trained. Many Many womyn died in the past and even in this day, due to improper pregnancy ending or avoidance techniques, In Victioian times, attempted abortion (especially with herbs or other drugs) was one of the biggest killers of womyn, outside actual childbirth.

    I wanted to add, that not fully expelled fetuses, which are very likely to occur with amateur procedures, can be extremely dangerous!

    well im pregnant and i know im not supposed to have penny royal or wormwood because they cause miscarriages. but sweety, if you ae pregnant dont kill it, put it up for adoption, nine little months, and its never the babies fault that it came to you at the wrong time, let him live

    The morning after pill prevents sperm from actually fertilizing an egg, no fetus involved.
    If it's already been fertalized, you're shit out of luck, but there's only an 8% chance of getting pregnant from a single act of unprotected sex.

    I was in your position and took that pill and they gave me tons of info saying that. I hope it all works out for you.

    really...the body has a way of 'aborting'. i honestly feel that if you really dont want the child, your body KNOWS and will 'abort' it before too long. usually within the first couple of days. i fully believe this.

    Hi

    I had my first abortion (and hopefully my last) 2 months ago.

    They WONT advise you abort (infact they wont do it) before 6 weeks pregnant and they only do it with caution before seven weeks. thats the surgical methond.

    The abortive pill is a messy and im my oppinion horrible (and probably much more traumatcis) was of aborting a child. They give you one pill to take the day you go to your consultancy. this pill stops your body from prodcing the hormones which protect the baby/foetus leaving it open to harm. Then you go back a week later and they give you your second and final pill. They sujjest someone else is with you and will stay with you the whole day and will drive you home. What happens is it is a pill which enduces pregnancy. its used on mothers who are actually giving birth and need help enducing. They told me i would go home and sit on the toilet and give birth to the tiny foetus and the sac. it would be no more painfull than a very bad period as is was so small (i was 6 weeks 3 days)

    I was also givent information by someone about natural abortiants. this does the same sort of thing as the pill however its is not nearly a well researched. the doseage isnt knows specifically. also it lasts over the period of a week of taking a doseage every day.

    I did the sergical method. i went in for a consultation. then a week later (i was lucky because they had to do it quick for me beacause i was flying to canada a few weeks later and they dont let you fly till 10 days after) i went in and they di a scan then i wasa put under a local aenesthetic and i woke p in the same room they did it in with 5 other girls all on tables like me. we were put in wheel chairs and wheeled to different room where we got juice and tea and buiscets to ground us. ..however we did awake with a sanetry town type thing tied to us and blood going everywhere (on me) ...i threw up and stuff but im prone to things like that.





    i now wish i still had baby inside me. my maternal instinct are going crazy... and i cry almost daily about the baby i lost. my step mummy said she said a prayer for it ... which is strange because we are not a religious family.


    let me just say think carefully about your decision. many people told me to rethink when i decided to have an abortion... they told me afterwards i would regret it. i felt so sure inmyself of my reasons at the time (and i do still stand by them a great deal) that i still went ahead with it. i cry to myslef now but i still feel id rather punsh myself reguarly than occasionally feel a resentment in my heart for my baby if id had it.
