Kayley its difficult.to tell you may get a sympathetic surgeon but most will feel your too young and may change ur mind. No 2 pregnancies are a like so just because you struggled last time doesnt mean you will again lovely. Huge decision make sure you are 100% sure xxx godd luck with whatever you choose x

hi kayley i am so sorry you are going through this, last yr august i had to abort my baby due to having a large hernia and RA was flaring so bad. i know its hard to think about what you have to do but if its best for you its the right decision. i hope the doctors help you more than last time or you can get something like a coil or implant to lessen the risk cause been through it, is the last thing i would want to do again. sorry i can't help anymore but if you want to ask anything please do. xx davina

hi i was 7 1/2 wks and decided to go with the Dilation and Curettage (D&C)procedure which is normally after 12 wks, i had the sedation and to this day can't remember the procedure at all. (thank god)!!! i know how your feeling i had to decide what was best for my son he was only 14months at the time, i had mine due to ilness but some days i wish i never had it done. you need to decide if you can live with what you did i had some cancelling cause i become depressed and hated myself, still do some days but it was best for everything in my live at the time. you will make the right decision for your situation and i'll be here for you when you have done what's best for you. xxx davina
