I have had my first baby with my husband,but we still have no physical and mental preparation for him/her,so we have to make such hard decision as abortion...it is my first time and I really wanna make lowest possible damage to my uterus for our future baby.Though I have read some inform. on the Internet,I wish to hear some advise from anyone who have such similar experience.

I have never had an abortion, so I have no personal advice to give you. I will just say that you should definitely talk to a doctor and make sure you understand what the procedure will be like, what side effects you may experience after, what would be some warning signs to watch for, etc. before having it done so that you feel prepared going in.
There are also support groups for women who have trouble dealing with the emotional side of their abortion, so that may be another thing for you to look into.
If your pregnancy was unwanted (this soon anyway) and unplanned, that could be a sign that you need another form of birth control, so don't be afraid to ask your doctor about that too.

It is my pleasure to receive your responds here.it is very useful for me,yet maybe ~cause of the different medical environment in different country,it seems that there is fare support groups in my country.and I just wanna hear some advise other than thinnking of some possible blame...Abortion in such populous country may be a common phenomenon.though most of us do not wish so...

I've never had an abortion, but I'd talk to a doctor, and get any questions you have answered.
There could be a lot of people who'll bash you for having an abortion, because it's "against their religion" or whatnot; don't be affected by it, it's YOUR decision.
Be confident and relaxed.

This is ahighly debated toxic subject here in mylot, you being so new may not be prepared for the replies... Chin up back bone straight let them say what ever they want, and do not take it personal. It is your life. But this is a very very personal subject to many here. I wish you much luck ...and Welcome to mylot.
