Let me get this straight, you are pregnant and been punched repeatedly in the stomach. So, instead of going to a hospital or your doctor you are asking for advice on Yahoo Answers?? Well if any of this is true you need to give the baby up for adoption maybe on ebay.

I've heard some bad stuff about it. A mother died, The baby sometimes dies sometimes it's incomplete and you would have to make an emergency trip to the doctors because you are hemorrhaging to death..   It's not a good Idea.  \n\nI wish you all the best.  \nGod Bless you,

You've just had a baby killed and ripped from your body. You're going to bleed for a few weeks, and then, after your body realizes that you are no longer pregnant (which takes a while- it's not natural to have a baby ripped from your body), you'll have a normal period.

maybe they should have taken your collarbone injury ahead of the gunshot victim, the heart attack patient, and of course the baby not breathing! Just because we get hurt and WE think its a terrible thing, it does not preclude the fact theat others are suffering worse than we are and need attention much sooner than we do. Triage. You'd want it done that way for your family members, and thats how its done for everyone.

The first thing you need to do is call the police. They will need to interview you and to take some evidence and they will make sure you get medical care.  Don't have a shower, or if you have, make sure you keep the clothes you were in.  The police should help you to get in contact with some victim support.  Is there someone close to you who you can tell, like a parent or a good friend?  If you are scared, it can help to have someone like them close by.\n\nNumber one thing to remember - this isn't your fault.  You are going to get through this and a lot of people will be praying for you and wishing you well.

Yes. A pregnancy would be considered evidence in a crime.

Your baby should not have to suffer because his or her father is a bad person.  How will you live with yourself knowing that you killed your own child?  Please, think about the impact both on your baby and on your own physical and mental health.    \n\nIf you are three and a half to four months pregnant, your baby already has:\n\n* A beating heart (since 3 weeks after conception)\n* Recordable brain waves (since 6 weeks after conception)\n* Tiny fingers and toes\n* All her organs\n* Fine hair on her head\n\nAt this point, your baby can already:\n\n* Move in the womb--she can turn her head, curl her toes, open and close her mouth, and make a tight fist.\n* Respond to touch--and feel pain!\n* Curl her fingers around an object placed in her palm.\n* Make facial expressions--she can squint, wrinkle his or her forehead, and even smile!\n* Sleep and awaken.\n* Get the hiccups.\n* Suck her thumb.\n* Hear your heartbeat and your voice!\n\nAt this age, your baby would likely be killed by a D&E abortion.  In this type of abortion, the abortionist reaches into the womb with a sharp plier-like instrument, grabs the baby's arm or leg, twists it, and pulls it off.  The baby is dismembered piece by piece--while he or she is still alive!  As you can imagine, this is very painful for the child.   When nothing is left but the baby's head, the abortionist inserts a tong-like instrument into the womb, grasps the head, crushes it, and pulls it out.  This is torture you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy.  How can you do it to your own child?\n\nAdditionally, abortion is very dangerous for you.  Your cervix must be forced open.  The sharp instruments that are inserted can puncture your uterus and damage your bladder and bowel.  Abortion is a blind procedure.  The abortionist cannot see what he is doing.

They will be able to help you find a safe place to stay.  \n\nYour baby hasn't done anything to deserve death. Please let your baby live.

I has a chest X ray done when I was 8 weeks pregnant with my first.  I did not know I was pregnant at that stage (long story! lol) so I had no protection of my abdomen.  When I found out I was pregnant I worried that she would be born with problems but she was perfectly fine.  You had protection so I am sure you and your baby will be fine.

I would get a few different opions from actual doctors instead of us average joes. I wouldn't want you to do something even it's natural. Some people are allergic even if the baby isn't born yet if it harms you then it could harm the baby. Congrats!

Yes, its normal. I am a mother of two, and also a worry wart.What my Doctor told me was that the baby moves constantly, and when they do they can step on the cord, lay on it, or even grab it as they develop and get stronger. As long as it doesn't last for over a minute or twp, I would say your OK. The blood and oxygen flow through the umbilical cord, keeping your child alive. I would double check with your Doctor if the problem continues, the cord may be wrapped around the babies neck, arm, or leg. They really can't do anything while your pregnant, but you may have to have a c-section if that is the problem. Good Luck, and don't worry so much. Must be your first? Enjoy your pregnancy and good luck!

it depends on how far in you are.  My wife had 2, the second one was a like a week further on, she said she was really sore from that one.  About the infant I can't tell you.  But it could really hurt you.  My wife holds serious regrets over what she did.  There's always adoption.  But besides that, she's got scarring on the inside preventing her from getting pregnant again.  It's something you really have to think about, if not now then 20 years down the road.

Just let things take their natural course, and you'll be surprised!\nLet him come after you, after you have the baby, it is quite likely he will. Just let it happen. Relax and good luck with your baby.

Hi\n\n   I know this may seem harsh but the best thing you need to do is think of yourself and the baby. Being in a stressful situation like that is in no way shape or form good for you or your baby. I hope I helped

if you really want an educated answer to your question, look up information on what an abortion does to the woman.  they are not as safe as the industry would like you to believe.  the Alan Gutmacher institute did research on planed parenthood and have come to the conclusion that 91% of all women undergoing an abortion will have complications some of which are physical, psychological problems and even death.  if you were to stand in front of a firing squad of 10 guns... 9 of them are loaded one is empty... they give you a choice to point to one shooter... you choose the shooter not knowing which one of them has the empty gun.  would you want that kind of odds?  this is what abortion is doing.  not only is it killing an innocent baby, but it is also killing innocent women. The concent form that a women signs at an abortion clinic says that she knows that there is a possibility she could die from the procedure.  this relieving the clinic from any and all liabillities.  the faster they get the women on and off the table the more money the doctor makes.  also think about this ... a doctor day after day killing innocent babies.  do you really think that same doctor would have a concince about the life of the mother?  another thing i would like you to think about is no abortion is done before 6 weeks into the pregnancy... 18 days after conception the heart of that baby is beating and by 21 days there are measurable brainwaves.  most women don't even know they are pregnant by this point. I as a woman don't believe it should be legal any place.  it is a degrading thing for any woman to experience.... in the case of rape, do you punish the baby? it's not the baby's fault that the mother was raped if the mother can not handle raising that child there are lots of people out there waiting to be parents that would love to adopt that innocent child and raise it as if they were the natural parents to that child showering it with love.  your mother didn't choose an abortion and you are here....think about it!!!
