Used dong quai to abort baby but failed to.. I need help and a friend

[GoalDigger]

Please don't  send hate. I know what I did is wrong.
So some background of my irresponsibility..
I have 2 kids and when I found out that I'm pregnant again. I got scared.
How can I take care of my new baby when my youngest is still very young , how are we going to handle finances. etc.

So I took Dong Quai for 1-2 days only. I took it every 4 hours (I skipped sometimes).
But no sign of bleeding. I also felt bloated and dizzy so I stopped taking it.
Then I had my TVS ultrasound. The baby has heartbeat. Very healthy heartbeat.
I felt happy that time to know that my baby is still alive.. despite of what i did..

I've red on the internet that it should not be continued due to unknown defects that might affected the baby..I'm afraid that the baby will come out with brain/heart damage.
Though the main use of Dong Quai is to relax the uterus and invite menstruation.

Does anyone still continued it? What happened to your babies?

Please help nobody knows what I did.. I feel so lost and lonely.

^i have never heard of that drug so i cannot say for sure. Best is to pray and wait for 9months to see what happens to your baby.

I have a friend who took cortal i think and tanduay with it kasi mas mabilis daw ma abort yung baby that way. But it did not happen. Natuloy yung pregnancy niya, she was worried of course na baka may side effect sa bata pero lumabas naman yung baby na healthy and normal.

I guess at this point you should just stop worrying and try to be healthy and happy for your baby's sake. Have a regular check up for your own peace of mind. Leave it all in the hands of God and repent for what you did kasi it is not right. But i am sure you know that. Next time use contraceptives instead kung hindi pa pala kayo ready for another baby. But i am sure you know that too by now.
