No, unless you tell a doctor about your past abortions, there will be few clues that you were ever even pregannt in the first place. Giving birth is different, your cervix is stretched out much more widely than an abrtion would be, so many experienced gyn docs can tell if a woman has given birth. An abortion leaves little evidence..
I have a gyn doc who is pro choice, so I fell comfortable discussing my abortion history. While it is always important to be open with your doctor, it is understandable that you may wish to keep this private. |
