Q20. Will I be able to have a baby some point in the future even though I have had an abortion?

A20. This is something which worries many women who have undergone an abortion. They fear that terminating their pregnancy may prevent them from becoming pregnant again in the future and ruin their chances of having a family.

There is no evidence to show that an abortion leads to infertility. There is a slight risk if you have experienced complications after an abortion or have undergone more than one abortion. But if you do decide to have children in the future then you will find that you are able to do so.
