I had a surgical abortion one week and one day ago. My boyfriend side has twins that runs in his family. could they have missed a baby? My stomach has not went down it is still getting big and hard i am still tried. I took a pregnancy test and it came up bright pink. If this is so I truly hope so i want to keep the child. Its something I need to know to keep me at ease hoping god is giving me a gift back knowing that I have relized what a mistake I have made!!!

Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
The pregnancy test may be positive for sometimes after abortion.
In my opinion just go for an ultrasonography test to rule out the cause and see weather abortion is complete or not and you can rule out foetal well being also.
Good luck.
Regards
