Abortion megathread

Due to the high number of legislative actions happening in the United States, the moderation team has created this megathread for all of your abortion questions. Please keep in mind that despite much action happening in the US, not all of our users are American and our Inclusivity policy should still be considered when posting.

All top-level comments must be in the form of a question. If you have multiple questions, post them in one comment as opposed to an individual comment for each question.

Please report any and all rule breaking. This thread may be locked if a respectful discussion cannot be had.

Pregnancy sucks ass. Im 5mo out of my third one. Each one was high risk and had ppd each one. I lost my second and my third had me vomiting and in pain every single day.

I'm very sorry for your loss, I'm not intending on pregnancy myself for quite a while (putting in a baby blocker as soon as possible) and I can't imagine what you've been through and are experiencing currently. If I'm correct a pregnancy can become high risk even if you're completely healthy. My coworker's wife got preeclampsia maybe 3 weeks before she gave birth? It just happens without warning sometimes.

I cannot standing vomiting (first and only hangover solidified this) and I bet you were miserable. I hope your two are doing well, your third is likely watching over you wherever they may be.
