I have read your question.

You can get second pregnancy aborted. However, getting abortions performed so frequently is not advisable. After an abortions, it takes minimum six weeks for the woman's reproductory organs to achieve their normalcy. Of course, the method by which the abortion was performed plays a great role. How was your abortion performed? Did you have any complication or problem during or after the abortion?

What is your Rh blood group? Please do not go for any abortion unless you get your Rh group done. If you are Rh - ve and your husband is Rh + ve, I would not advice you undergo any further abortion since you have not taken antigammaglobulin injection. Otherwise there is a risk that you may never get a live or healthy baby in your life.

Instead, it is always advisable to follow a reliable birth control method like pills, intra-uterine device or condom. Abortion should never be looked upon and used as a method for family planning. It is just an emergency tool.

Please give me the requested information and then I can give you correct and safe advice for you.

Brief Answer:
Opt for birth control methods

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX XXXXXXX

Now I have completely understood your situation. What I gather is:
1. You have a 3 year young daughter whose care you have to take.
2. You want to make your career also.
3. You have undergone one Medical Termination of pregnancy and do not want any more pregnancy for the time being.
4. Currently you are not pregnant.

If I am correct on these perceptions, I am suggestion you some options; if I have misunderstood you, please correct me.

1. Please decide after a thorough discussion with your husband as to how many total number of children you wish to have, and when. Have a properly planned family.
2. If you want to have one more child, I feel this is the right time. Three years is medically adequate distance between the two children. Moreover, it will be reasonable for you to complete the family and then start your career (if you already have not started) so that later on there should be no interruption in your job due to pregnancy.
3. Anyway, if you do not plan to have pregnancy for the time being, please select and practise a suitable birth control method for you. The easily available and suitable methods would be one of the following three:
* Condom
* Birth control pills
* Intrauterine device like Copper T
Whichever you opt for should be with your Gynaecologists consultation and advice. Please do not take birth control pills across the counter as there are different types of such pills and they have to be chosen as per the hormonal balance of the woman.
Come what may, please do not choose medical termination of pregnancy as a method of birth control, it is not so.

Your doctor had suggested you scan after the previous termination of pregnancy to confirm that you have completely aborted. If you do not have any abnormal type of bleeding, it is most likely that you have aborted completely. Nothing to worry then.

I hope this guides you rightly and solves your problem. If any more information or guidance is required, I am there for you XXXXX!
