It's possible, but not likely.  Was your girlfriend hospitalized?  Did she press charges?  Her ob/gyn should be your main source of answers for this question.

Birth is a natural thing. there is little chances of complications with birth, but they still occur. Some of the more common are: bleeding, placenta previa, abruptio placenta, genetic anomalies, Diabetes, Pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH), and anemia. There is higer chances of havin a normal baby than having complications as long as you visit your doctor and have good prenatal care.

When my mom was very pregnant with my brother, I remember walking in circles with her around the dinner table for about an hour, and in no time she was in labor! I don't see how this wouldn't be safe. :D

Hold her hands, maybe rub her belly lightly with a warm wet cloth.  Speak softly and don't allow all the chaos of the birth process to interfere for a little while.  Sleep probably won't happen, but relaxation is good.

Birth is ALWAYS MORE PAINFUL!! \n\nImagine squeezing a watermelon out of your ass. Ya...its that painful! Women who go through natural birth are really tough. \n\nWomen use to die sometimes from giving birth when technology wasnt as good. It basically splits you open. Its why they have to cut a little into you so you wont be ripped apart by this thing coming out of you. Men will never understand what women have to go through to bear their child.

I think you should seek counseling.  Also, the abortion thing may be a much bigger part of this then you think. Have you always experienced pain during intercourse? Did you tell your doctor about the abortion? I know you might be embarrassed, but you really need to tell him/her.  That could be a big part of the problem.  It is not uncommon to hear about infections or internal injuries after that procedure.  I would make sure you are open about that with your doctor and then ask him/her for a referral to a psychologist so that you can start to recover from the psychological impact this has had on you.  Sometimes it may take years to recover from this.  If your doctor does know about your experience and the physical pain does not go away I would see a GYN and get a second opinion.  It is not normal to have physical pain during intercourse.  He/she may be missing something.  I really hope that things work out for you and I understand what you are going through.  I have been in a similiar situation. - Take care : )

I am a Scientologist and gave birth to 2 kids, one in 1979 in London UK and the second in 1984 in Toronto.\nBoth times I would have preferred to have a home birth where I could better control the environment for myself and my babies, and keep\nunnessary noise and loud voices, or talking to a minimum, but my choices were very limited back then.\nSo I had to make do with a hospital environment both times, and deal with any negative effects after the births.\nThis whole subject of giving birth and the best methods are all in the realm of "Preventative". You want to prevent trauma that will effect this new life and the natural bonding between mother and baby.\nThis "silent" aspect of the Scientology method is explained fully in  Chapter 10 of the book "Dianetics The Modern Science of Mental Health" called " Preventative Dianetics"\n\nNot so long ago most babies were delivered at home and mid wives were the best authority on the subject. This  should still be the case in mmy opinion. Birth was never the ream of medical science particularly, until recently.\nIn many cultures and societies this has been preserved.\nIn fact in some cultures mothers just go off on their own somewhere quiet to give birth without any interference or complications.

Drug abuse is horrible.  Complications are weight loss, if using a needle there could be damage to arteries,  damage can be done to all your inside organs, such as heart, lungs, liver, etc.  Family of the abuser can also have complications to their health from stress.  Some people die, others could have a stroke.  My son had a lot of complications but luckily he is alive and in a half way house.  He just went threw 70 days of detox and maintenance.\nMemory loss and dysfunctional thoughts can occur.  Depression and anxiety also.

It isn't a wound?  Are you sure?  \n\nSee, wounds hurt right?  And childbirth sure as hell hurts.  Does this not make it a wound?  Or at least, of some sorts?\n\nAnywho, very good question.  I really have no answer other than they (the powers that be) are usually referring to emotional/mental wounds.

Everyones tolerances for pain are different.  Headaches can be cured with a couple of pills and maybe a nap.  Toothache, you can numb with orajel often and get to the dentist asap.  Childbirth lasts for anywhere from 5 to 36 hrs of course more or less and you go through different stages and degrees of pain eventually feeling like you are having a melon pushed through an opening about the size of the hole in the middle of your dvd, or a cd.  however as soon as your baby cries and you see it for the first time all pain goes away and a sudden rush of happiness occurs and then you realize what true love is. so in reality love hurts the most :)

Yes.  The muscles which hold it in place get weaker after childbirth.

The major complications related to cesarean deliveries are infection, hemorrhage, injury to pelvic organs, and thromboembolic disorders.\n\nThere is increasing evidence that cesarean delivery increases the risk of abnormal placentation (placenta previa) in future pregnancies.\n\nIn women with at least one prior cesarean delivery, the risk of development of placenta previa in a subsequent pregnancy was two to three times higher than at baseline, and the risk increased with the number of prior cesarean births\n\nPlacental abruption is another example of a placental abnormality that occurs more often in women with a prior cesarean birth. \n\nOverall, there are insufficient data on which to base recommendations for the maximum "safe" number of cesarean deliveries.\n\n-random physician

During pregnancy, most women experience a number of neuromuscular and biochemical problems which respond favorably to gentle, safe, noninvasive chiropractic care. These include:\n\nrelease of the hormone relaxin causes muscle and ligament relaxation \nallows joints to more easily misalign \nincreased weight gain \nincreased demand and fatigue on spinal and pelvic muscles \nincreased stress on spinal and pelvic ligaments \nincrease in lumbar and thoracic spinal curves which further increase the above \nincreased joint stress and thus occurrence of vertebral and sacroiliac joint misalignments \nchange in weight distribution \nincreased demand and fatigue on spinal and pelvic muscles \nincreased stress on spinal and pelvic ligaments \nincrease in lumbar and thoracic spinal curves which further increase the above \nincreased joint stress and thus occurrence of vertebral and sacroiliac joint misalignments \nThe above changes primarily affect the pelvic and spinal ligaments, muscles, joints and other supportive soft tissues. These changes cause sprain/strains of pelvic and spinal structures, as well as alteration of the normal spinal curvatures and spinal biomechanics. The result is an increased stress on the body leading to pain and discomfort.\n\nhttp://www.dcdoctor.com/pages/rightpages_wellnesscenter/pregnancy/chirocare.html
