The reasons why a woman has an abortion are not always the same. Some women seek abortion due to health reasons, others due to financial reasons, while there are those who cite emotional and mental immaturity as the reason for wanting to terminate their pregnancy. Whatever the reasons, this action is never without its inherent behavioral outcomes after the abortion has been completed. Let us explore the many different outcomes of such an action.

What Happens to a Woman Who Has Had an Abortion?

There are many different things that happen to many different women who have had an abortion and the following are some of the things they experience or go through:

1.Women have an  abortion sometimes succumb to self-destructive behavior. Women who have had an abortion sometimes suffer from certain feelings of guilt, sadness, and loss and they try to assuage these feelings by doing things to try to help them cope. Included in the list of self-destructive actions are alcohol abuse, drug abuse, and even self-mutilation. There are also women who attempt to commit suicide due to the guilt they might feel with the abortion or the loss of the baby. Other women also succumb to having repeat abortions after doing the first one, usually due to feelings of guilt that they had to lose the first one.

2.Women sometimes have difficulty with motherhood once they have children after having had an abortion. There are women who find it difficult to bond with the children they do have after they have had a previous abortion. This may be due to feelings of guilt for the loss of the previous child. Other women even end up abusing their children or abandoning them due to the feelings they have regarding the abortion that they had.

3.Women in relationships find that these relationships deteriorate after the abortion. This may be due to the fact that they feel inadequate or guilty for having to lose the child. Some women lose their sex drive or suffer from sexual dysfunction after an abortion. Sometimes this is aggravated by their partners who may feel that they have been cheated out of fatherhood should they find out that their partner had an abortion without consulting them about it.

Women who have had abortions clearly need to seek help to restore  balance in their lives and to help release them from the guilt they might feel from their actions. Some women become repeat abortionists due to the emotional and mental distress they suffer after this act. Others suffer depression and feel angry as well as betrayed when they are asked to have a baby aborted and these women usually end up having dysfunctional relationships or difficulty learning to trust other people after an abortion. Abortion is not only something that happens physically. It is also something that can alter the mental and emotional state of the woman as she goes through it.

Becoming a father is a great experience, but is it making you feel uncared for? Well, many new fathers feel upset when they find that their partner is less interested in sex than before. Postpartum, mothers are occupied dealing with the demands of their little one which leaves them with little time and energy for sex. Besides, their body needs some time to heal up before they are ready for sex. But, being a father does not mean the end of your sex life. It only means you need to wait for sometime before you initiate an active sex life. Here are some tips on how you can enjoy lovemaking after fatherhood.

Let sometime pass before you indulge in lovemaking again
You have just become a father, enjoy your fatherhood for a few weeks and in the meantime your partner’s body time will return to normal and heal from any surgical intervention during the birth. While how quickly you should return to lovemaking postpartum depends on circumstances, most doctors’ advice couples to wait for about 6 weeks after the birth.

Spend time together
Not having sex does not mean that you can’t have fun. Spend time together as much as you can. You may shower together or bathe together, this not only will save time and water but you might have a lot of fun. Even taking care of the baby together can be lot of fun.

Plan for birth control
Experts recommend that you should start taking care of birth control straight away. Though breast-feeding does delay a woman’s fertility but you cannot say with surety at what stage that changes and her periods return. If your partner wants to go for birth control pills, consult your doctor to find out which one will be safe during breast-feeding.

Cuddling is important
Until the time your doctor allows you to have sexual intercourse, you can plan some time alone just to cuddle. This will help both of you feel loved and feel better about having a baby.

Know each other better
If its your first child, both of you can learn to know each other a lot better while bringing up the baby. And, even if it’s not your first child, you are still new parents and learn a lot of new things about each other. This will lot of fun.

Enjoy being spontaneous
After having a baby, bedtime might not always be the right time for having sex. And, even the bedroom may not always be the right place. Enjoy spontaneous sex at new places in your house and at new times. Enjoy your moment when it comes.

Lubrication
Ensure both of you are ready and into the mood while having intercourse. If you aren’t feeling wet enough or feel you need extra help, get yourself an over the counter lubricant. You may consult a doctor, if you are concerned about using a lubricant.

Quality matters
When it comes to sex between people who love each other, the quality matters more than the quantity. Make extra effort to keep your partner comfortable and make her feel loved. She’ll reciprocate.

Understand your partner’s fears of sexual intercourse
Post partum your partner may have certain fears of intercourse. She may be worried about episiotomy or if her body has healed properly if she delivered through caesarean section. Some women even have fears about how their partner will think about the change in their body. Talk to her and make her feel comfortable before having sex.

Don’t feel bad if your partner says no
If your partner is not yet comfortable to have intercourse, don’t force her. She might need more time to be ready for it. Until the time she is ready, indulge in kissing and hugging.

Father’s Day is a day honoring fathers and celebrating fatherhood, paternal bonds, and the influence of fathers in society. It is celebrated on the third Sunday of June that is 20th June this year.

The concept of celebrating Father’s Day is very new in India. The idea of celebrating Fathers Day has been imported from western countries mainly US, perhaps less than a decade ago. However, it is remarkable to note that the idea of observing a day in honor of fathers has been appreciated by Indians to a large extent. Today, millions of people in India observe Father’s Day on the third Sunday of June by expressing gratitude for their father or men who are like father.

Father’s Day celebration in India takes place in the same way as in UK or US though in a limited way. Awareness about Fathers Day festival is much greater in metropolitan cities and bigger towns due to the greater exposure of people to the western cultures in such places. But thanks to the rigorous advertising campaign launched by card companies and gift sellers the idea of celebrating Father’s Day is fast catching on with people in smaller towns and cities of India.
