Abortion/Expert Profile
Expertise
I can help women with the consideration of their decision, and with resources, and I can share my own experiences as the mother of seven and grandmother of six. My approach is to show love and concern, and help women work through the issues, emotional, spiritual, practical. I also help women deal with boyfriend and family issues.
Experience in the area
I have been working with women who are considering abortion for several years. I also work with women who have had abortions. Our family has also experienced adoption, so I can talk about that as well.
Education/Credentials
I am mostly self-taught. I also studied midwifery for awhile. I have spent years doing research on this topic. In fact, I have been doing research and working in this area since the early 1970's. I have been helping women online for a few years, under the guidance of a woman who was formally training in counseling.

Hi, Cidne, At nine weeks, you won't be feeling any movement yet, not from the baby. You might be feeling gas in your intestines or something like that. But by now, you should feel more than just a little

Hello, dania, Thank you for the kind wishes. You haven't said what kind of abortion you had. I need to know that to tell you some of the things you need to know. You really should have a doctor
