Re: Patients with previous elective abortionFrom: Marna (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed, 28 Oct 1998 20:06:55 -0800
Dear Dr. McIntosh- Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. I do not know about the rest of the ladies of this forum, but I have learned a great lesson from you today. I didn't even think about those possible ramifications. And I am studying to be a nurse! Thank you again, and I just need to learn not to be ashamed of the choices I have made. Sincerely, Marna D.E. Gatlin Doula/SNMW The first, and best, reason is that this is an extremely bad idea in principle. There are any number of factors in a medical history that might be embarrassing, but hiding them from your doctor is a bad idea. An abortion is just one of many. Possible complications of an abortion that might effect a current pregnancy include Rh isoimmunization, intrauterine scarring from the D&C, cervical incompetence from the D&C, uterine perforation from the D&C, and so on. I realize that these are rare, but why tie one hand behind your doctor's back, so to speak?
