You carry your baby lowerI know this is true if you go through with the whole pregnancy, but what if you have an abortion the 1st time your pregnant (I dont class it as a pregnancy cause it was at 4 weeks, or 7 weeks gestation, it was just an embryo).Will this change anything about the 1st time I get pregant for real and go through the WHOLE pregnancy?I ask because I want the 1st time I go through with the whole pregnancy thing to be like it should be, but will the abortion change anything about my 1s real pregnancy?

 Odds:
Planned Parenthood is right actually. Unless you have serious complications an abortion will not affect anything. Abortions nowadays are very non-invasive, done with a drug that induces a miscarriage. You don't even go in for a procedure, you pick up a prescription and go through the pains in your own home. Even a "suction" type abortion won't change anything, it's just slightly more invasive and uncomfortable. Complications can arise from late term abortions, which generally are considered surgery, but it's really no different from carrying a baby to term in the sense of changing your womb. But I'm sure you're fine, the abortion didn't change anything. If you weren't even two months along this doesn't really count as a second pregnancy. Being only 7 weeks will not stretch anything or change her womb. Neither will an abortion. Count this as your first. Also, a second pregnancy shouldn't be any more dangerous or unpleasant than the first, though a worse one could be a function of age.

Since you didn't go through a full pregnancy, i'd think your tummy muscles were still pretty normal so i wouldn't worry about pregnancy being spotted earlier, baby being lower or feeling baby earlier. I'd personally view this as your first pregnancy since it is your first to full term pregnancy.

 I'm a bit a confused. You're male, but referring to it as *your* pregnancy... I'll assume it's your wife.If you were the father of the original pregnancy, then the second is basically the same, with one exception. In rare cases, if you have a different Rh-factor blood type (that's the "positive" or "negative" part), the mother may experience some complications. Doctors can easily fix that, though. Talk to the OB-GYN if you're curious.As for the abortion, despite Planned Parenthood's claims to the contrary, abortions can have lasting effects on the womb. As early as the first one was, that is quite unlikely, unless that was not her first abortion. Again, this is something you should bring up during routine pregnancy examinations.

 every pregnancy is different no matter how many you have, if its your second or more pregnancy all the way through you may feel your baby move sooner but you could class this as your first,women normally start to show at around 17 weeks, as you have more pregnancies you have the more stretched you are so you tend to show earlier,the carrying low thing that depends really on you, good luck with it all
