Melody answered Saturday February 6 2010, 2:46 pm: Think about what you are doing. I know you are scared and I know you feel all alone in this scary situation, but just sit back and see this problem from an outsider's perspective. Not only is it extrememly dangerous to yourself, it's morally wrong. You are taking the life of an unborn child in a very cruel way. I am sure you aren't a bad person, so just think about the choice you are considering. It just isn't the right choice to make.
I don't think you are fully grasping the situation. You can't just pop yourself in the stomach one good time, and then magically not be pregnant anymore. You will have to hit yourself over and over again, and it won't be fun or painless. Trust me! Just google what happens when you miscarry or abort, and I am sure you will change your mind very fast.
Don't ever forget you have options. There are millions of people in the world dying for a baby, and here you are killing one. Doesn't seem right does it? Please don't do this. You just can't possibly grasp what can happen to you if you do this. Have your baby and then give it to a family who will love it and care for it or leave it at a hospital, no strings attached. Just don't kill it, and possibly kill yourself in the process.
If you are dead set on not giving birth to this baby, do it the right way. Go to an abortion clinic where a doctor who is trained to do this kind of thing can perform the task in as healthy a manner as possible.
But please, don't do this. You made the decision to have sex, knowing what could happen. Own up and face your consequences like a grown ass woman. [ Melody's advice column | Ask Melody A Question ]
Peeps answered Friday February 5 2010, 11:17 pm: The reason that people are hospitalized because of a miscarriage is because it can be very fatal. Hitting yourself so hard that it kills a life inside of you can be EXTREMELY hurtful to YOUR body. It's more likely that you would hemorrhage (bleed) to death, especially if you're anemic.
Yes, you can lose a baby by getting hit too hard. You can also very well lose your own life, believe it or not. One good punch can rupture something, you could fall and hit your head, or have severe internal bleeding and your life could be completely over. If not that, you could be left with broken bones and serious bruises. Many people die from simple fights like that.
If a baby really did die within a pregnant woman then she would have to go to the hospital to make sure her body was intact and safe. The doctors will go in and scrap out the inside of her uterus in HOPES that she doesn't get an infection or be left with scar tissue (scar tissue would make the woman infertile for the rest of her days). She would still bleed just as much, if not much more because of the seriousness of the matter, from getting hit so hard as having an abortion. She would bleed for weeks probably--just like an abortion--only she may suffer some more pain because of the injuries.
It would be likely she suffer a lot of internal bleeding so she may bleed excessively or have to be hospitalized for a lengthy period of time because of the internal and external bleeding.
As a note, the baby isn't just going to magically POP out of the woman and lay on the ground after a punch. The baby has attached to the inside of the woman so the woman's body will have to expel in. If the baby is large then the doctor has to go in and manually pull the body out. If the baby is small the woman's body will try to expel it and the woman may see chunks of flesh coming out of her body over a period of weeks. This is why a doctor is absolutely needed.
For further note, there have been cases in which a baby has died in the womb and the mother's body does not realize it so it does not expel it. Take note that this is extremely dangerous and you can die from poisoning from it. It can lead to major, MAJOR health complications later in life, if you live through it all.
Any way it is, when a woman loses a baby--abortion, miscarriage, accident, etc.--it is extremely risky. Accidents are probably the most riskiest followed by an actual abortion. Purposely miscarrying means you damaged your body so much that it can no longer function properly. When your body cannot function properly you, of course, lose a baby--but your life is then in jeopardy too and a visit to the hospital is ALWAYS required, even if the injury was accidental.
Stop trying to kill your own baby and start acting like a grown-up. You made grown-up choices and now it's time to figure out how you're going to deal with them.
You do not need to murder your unborn child.
Adoption is completely available and it costs NOTHING. There are so many good people that are wanting to adopt in this world--including me!
Hell, you can even leave a newborn at a hospital and you won't be questioned or anything. It is LEGAL to just up and leave your newborn in the hospital if you don't want it.
Regarding your pregnancy: Your parents WILL get over it.
Your partner WILL get over it--even if they do not support you! There are MANY women who make it as a single mother.
There is no reason to stop another's life because you're too selfish to let it interfere with yours. Your baby did NOTHING wrong! He/she did not choose to be created. He/she did not decide it was smart for you to be having sex when you weren't ready to deal with possible consequences.
-aggresivelove answered Friday February 5 2010, 6:00 pm: hitting yourself in the sthomic is a bad idea. even if your parents get mad go to them, because hitting yourself in the sthomic could not only kill the baby, but can possibly kill you to. A best friend of mine was in the same place you are in. she told her mom and for a few days her mom was mad when her mom got over it they talked about it. giving the baby up for adoption, abortion, and got all the facts on what was going on in her belly. she decided to keep the baby which is due june 15.
so tell your parents they may get mad for a while, but nothing could be worse than loosing your life or makeing the wrong choice because of some guy. Plus if you keep the baby, you'll never know what he/she could grow up to be. [ -aggresivelove's advice column | Ask -aggresivelove A Question ]
sml111992 answered Friday February 5 2010, 4:51 pm: excuse me but i dont think that is the greatest idea in the world you need to right away go to ur parent or to planned parent hood and talk to them about it. i think hitting yourself in the stomache is NOT a good idea you could not only hurt the baby but you in a serious way. so go to some adult now.

People make mistakes..and i understand that..but please do NOT make yourself miscarriage.. that is a horrible thing to do.

He/she shouldn't die because of your mistake..;/ i hope you take my opinions in consideration. god bless. [ Faith42's advice column | Ask Faith42 A Question ]
OhMyLucyDarling answered Friday February 5 2010, 1:40 pm: Obviously you are NOT mature enough to have a child yet alone even be having sex if you are planning/questioning whether you should seek an easy way out by possibly killing your own child by punching your stomach. You want out then be mature enough to seek an adoption don't put your immaturity on the child. [ OhMyLucyDarling's advice column | Ask OhMyLucyDarling A Question ]
imi answered Friday February 5 2010, 12:06 pm: DO NOT PUNCH YRSELF IN THE STOMACH.
right,now that that is out of the way...
i know ,u must be under a ton of stress.you 15..you never expected this to happen..but it is not the end of the world!About the guy..he has every involvement in this .he shouldve been more responsible to wear protection. i think firstly that if u havnt by now,then you should let your parents know.it might be extremely hard but once things cool down they will be most happy to help.i think you basically have 2 options.
1)get an abortion..now this depends on your beliefs and wheter it is legal where ever you living.if you do choose this one make sure you do it at a proper clinic or hospital etc.
2)it may seem a crazy idea that you going to be a mother at this young age but if that is what your heart desires then do it.i know it will be extremely hard but with the help of your family you will come through.
trying to inflict a miscarriage can cause you to injure yourself so please try and get some professional help as in doctors etc.
Brandi_S answered Friday February 5 2010, 12:03 pm: Trying to cause yourself a miscarriage is not only stupid, but it's dangerous.
You were mature enough to create this child, you be mature enough to tend to yourself properly.
Go to a doctor.
