i am 10 weeks pregnant, i recently decided to have an abortion for a large number of reasons, and then i began very self destructive habits, i started taking vicodin again (3-4 a day) and had 4 drinks the other night, and have been taking temazepam (have only taken it twice) - i am now having second thoughts about the abortion, and I am wondering if it is too late, have I already done too much damage to the baby?

Optional Information:
Female , Age: 33

Already Tried:
i cannot tell my husband and don't want to go to my doctors, because if it is too late, i don't want to bring this up

ACCEPTED Check Mark

Hello

Only time and testing will tell. However, many women have done worse things and had very healthy babies. There are several tests that can be done during pregnancy to check for birth defects.

This is a decision you will have to make yourself. I encourage you to talk to your husband about it. Share this with him if you can. Decisions like this are often easier to make if they are shared.
