abortion and weight gain

I know this post was written last year but I was wondering how any of you are getting on?..have you lost the weight? I am one month post abortion and have now gained 10lbs and still gaining. what causes this? it just adds to the depression of what we have already been through. Can anyone tell me if the weight gain eventually stops.

hi i had an abortion in dec just last month. after teh abortion i felt like i took the lbs that i gain off. i feel much lighter but i am not takin a birth control.

I had an abortion like a week ago and I feel alot bigger.. I keep weighting myself and it just seems like my weight is going up instead of down and I've not been eating as much and eating healthy since i cant do the whole exercise thing for 2 weeks. My stomach feels huge even though my not pregnant anymore. What should I do to stop this!

I have noticed that since I had an abortion in Jan. that I have not been able to loose any more weight. I was doing so well, 85 pounds in one year. Does anyone have any ideas of how to get this weight off?

so...no one has answered this one yet hugh,well im with you girls,im 24, had the abortion,now im 10lbs heavier and cant git rid of it...someone please help us:(

Thank God im not crazy and alone I was 4 months pregnant when i had an abortion and ive been eating good and working out and im on my feet at work all day long and i think i gained weight since then if not more than when i was pregnant it just wont go away!

 

i had an abortion 3 years ago and i still havent managed to get rid of the baby weight, i think its due to wher i work, i work for a pub company and work unsociable hours not only that but i do both bar and kitchen shifts and after the kitchen i dont want to eat anything till late in the night and then its a sandwich, getting to exercise is hard because i have split 2 days off a week so i have to catch up on cleaning and washing my cloths and uniform.

i think generally if you have time to excersize do it! eat less carbs as i have noticed that recently me eating sandwiches isnt doing my metabolism any good. i used to be a size 8 and now im 27 with a size 12 so im fat for my height 5"4.  did the no carb / low carb thereafter diet and it worked kept the weight of but as soon as i had a carb my stomach swelled right up i felt groggy etc

but its expensive and i dont have time to eat regularly in work or cook at 1 in the morning  anyone with ideas as to how i can manage my time?????  would love to be the fit athletic 24 years old again XXX

I had an abortion 2 years ago now in January and I have been struggling with my weight since... The first - 7 to 9 months after I was fine... But the past year - 16months have been insane weight gain and I cant seem to get a handle on it. I noticed a drastic change in my body after the abortion. Not only weight gain but I gained a little pudge in my belly (Flap over pudge) that I never even got after having my daughter 8 years ago. I only got it after the abortion :( looking forward to 2012 and getting on a ridged exercise plan to get this body back into shape.. Or into shape to begin with!

Okay, seriously. Googling this question was the best decision ive made since i had my abortion. I had an abortion about 3 months ago. I'd always been against abortions. I just never believed in them and I was always pro life. But its just inevitable that everything changes once you're in the situation yourself. My pregnancy was a complete accident. It was the product of a summer one night stand and I regret it every day of my life. It still eats at me every single day. I just can't help but wonder who it would have been, what it would have looked like, how in love with it I would have been. I try not to think of the negatives but its so hard not to. But one thing is for sure. Especially in the past few weeks, I've been having nightmares and dreams that I was still pregnant. I work out every day trying to get this weight off, mentally and physically. And nothing is working. I gained at least 15 pounds since ive been pregnant. When I had the abortion (I did the pill abortion), that night i lost a total of 9 pounds. Since then, I've gained at least 8 more pounds. That made me think like what the hell... am i still pregnant? why am i gaining so much weight still? it just doesnt make sense to me. but its just because my body had prepared itself to gain this weight to properly nurture my child. And once the child was gone, i think it kind of put my body in shock and it just kept going. This is really a heart breaking experience and its stapled in my life forever. I know that. But when I went to my clinic, they told me to look at it from a more positive perspective. They told me that as sad as this is, at least now I know that when I am ready to have a family, I won't have a problem getting pregnant because my body works well and knows how to nurture. I try to keep that in mind every day and I can't wait until the day that I find the right now and have a family with him. I'm more ready than ive ever been. Thank you for reading and I really hope this helped you out some. Try try to keep a positive attitude and look at the glass hald full instead of half empty. <3

Two years ago, I was in an unhealthy relationship and ended up having an abortion, which was compounded after the fact by the unhealthy relationship. Before then, I was an extremely unhealthy eater, did an hour of soccer twice a week and the occasional swim; weight BARELY budged. Since then, my weight NEVER goes away permanently. I had to have a second abortion a year ago, and although I am now in a healthy relationship, I still can't seem to lose any weight. Some days I feel like I am making progress, and others, I am even further behind. I've been reading a lot of comments, and it really does seem the stress for me that's kept all the weight on... Problem is, that stress will always be there, I can never get rid of it. And the weight is making me more stressed out; it's a vicious circle, I wish there was more education on real life problems in high-school! They don't teach enough about pregnancy and the issues, they don't give insightful classes on career choices, and they don't teach you a cent about managing finances (get the pun?). I have a pretty good life, but a LOT of it I've had to learn on my own without any help; it's a shame that so many people have to fail when there should be more resources out there.
