Debunk-in myths about abortion that you have been told

Debunk-in myths about abortion

On social media there is a lot of information about abortion which can be good and bad. If this information is checked by professional it can for sure be helpful, but if it is just a lie to convince someone to not get it I think it is so wrong. I feel that if your belief is that abortion is wrong that is fine, you just don’t get it, but spreading lies to feel better about yourself is wrong. There are many reasons why someone want to terminate the pregnancy and image then coming across all these lies of course a person would rethink it. It is not right to make someone questions themselves, if you feel you want to get abortion get it don’t listen to these lies. Because of all these lies it is important to tell you what is true and what is false, so for today’s article I will be telling you myths about abortion that people are spreading online and why they are just myths!

Myth:

Having an abortion has higher health risks than continuing a pregnancy  and going through childbirth

Fact:

Abortion is totally safe if performed by qualified practitioners. This is very old way of thinking the medicine has improved so much and so did the abortion. There is so much technology and so much knowledge. Many researches suggest that childbirth has higher risk for your health than having a trimester abortion.

Myth:

Abortion affects future fertility

Fact:

If it is done correctly by qualified professional there is rarely associated with any future risk to fertility. I know someone who had couple of abortions and was able to have a child after all these abortions. The only reason why people think you can’t get pregnant again after having abortion is because of these people who are against abortion. They make you believe god is punishing you for getting abortion, but I am here to tell you it is so false.

Myth:

Abortion used instead of contraception

Fact:

Contraception is great, but it is far more difficult than what you think. Even if you use it correctly something can always go wrong. So in this case terminating pregnancy is great option to have, because it is safe. Most of people experiencing unplanned pregnancy use some form of contraception, yet we know that:

-No form of contraception is 100% effective, including sterilisation

When you have sex it is always risk, because no contraception can 100% control our bodies and sometimes even if you are being safe you can still get pregnant!

-All modern methods of contraception have some associated risks/ side effects

For some people risking your health is just not worth it, when you can have abortion which better for your health than contraception. I for example would never in my life take birth control pill I think it would not be good for my body!

-Finding suitable contraception is very difficult for some people

We all have different bodies and we don’t know how our body might react to certain contraception. So some people don’t even bother using them!

-Sexual behaviour is not always consensual or predictable

We can’t always plan out when we will have sex, sometimes it just happens and we might just forget to take contraception. It can also happen that someone might force us to have sex and this is something you can really predict!!

-Violence/abuse/control in relationship can make it difficult to use/access contraception

When your partner want to control you, it is hard to take contraception and I feel some many controlling partners are against contraceptions!!!

Myth:

Abortion causes emotional/mental harm

Fact:

Yes of course unplanned pregnancy can have mental and emotional effect. There might be a guilt for some, but that also goes away soon. Because that person deep down had good reasons for it and that is good enough to move one. Research shows that for majority abortion causes no long lasting psychological consequences. I feel terminating pregnancy itself is not traumatic, but other aspects of abortion that are sadly part of it. When you feel judged by others or when someone questions your decision that can be hard on anyone. Even though it feels right to you, they make you question this decision. Just remember in these situation that you are allowed to get abortion and when it feel right to you, you should do it! No one knows how you feel so they have no right to have opinion on you!!!

Myth:

Abortion causes breast cancer

Fact:

First I have to say that this myth is so crazy. Even though I am not a doctor I can see that cancer and abortion and two totally different things. It is impossible to get breast cancer from abortion! But in case a woman has a breast cancer while pregnant, abortion can actually safe a child from getting sick! Maybe these crazy people feel that abortion is like a cancer so now they are trying to convince people that is can cause you a breast cancer. This is crazy and there is no chance you can get it!!

Myth:

Adoption is better than abortion

Fact:

Yes in your opinion adoption is better, but your opinion doesn’t matter! The only opinion that matters is the opinion of the pregnant woman who is carry that child. And also let me remind you, adoptions are not as perfect as they make you think they are. You don’t know if the child will happy life because that child might end up in foster care, and foster care is the worse. Most foster care parents are horrible and are just doing it for the money. The thought of the child not having the best life is worse than have terminating pregnancy  and everyone needs to accept it and stop judging!!

Myth:

Only young and/or irresponsible people choose abortion

Fact:

That is so not true. It can be that a 20 year old seeks terminate pregnancy but it can also be a woman in here 30s with happy family that also wants to do it . There are many women who seek abortion after having children because it is not about being irresponsible it is about just not being able to have a child for whatever reason. Women in all ages, material statuses, religions, occupations seek abortion. Let’s stop assuming things that are simply not true!!

And here we go, what our society teaches us about abortion is so false. Abortion can be a positive thing if you are willing to expend and open your mind. So many see it as negative, but you don’t see the positive, it helped and still is helping many women who really can’t have a child! There are so many wonderful women who are thankful for getting abortion and thankful that abortion does exist! Abortion doesn’t have to be this taboo topic, we can make it more positive so people will talk about it more. Us being open about it and not being judgemental can help many women other there! It will make them feel good about getting abortion.

Contraceptives Quiz: How Much Do You Actually Know About Contraceptives?

How Much Do You Actually Know About Contraceptives Quiz?

Taking this Contraceptives Quiz is important because contraceptives are very big and confusing topic. As a woman you probably used some form of contraceptives in your life, and as a woman you need to learn about it. Sadly they leave this up to us instead of getting education around this topic. So many doctors give us just some random contraceptives that we have 0 knowledge about. We start taking them without knowing the side effects and sometimes this can have bad effects on your body. These contraceptives control how you feel, body changes and your health. So educating yourself about them is a must. Because we still live in system where they don’t care to teach us about them.

For example I am very against

birth control pills, because from all the research I do find all the side effects are not worth it. I get it sex without condom might be better, but seriously I have always been a healthy person and I strongly feel this could change if I start taking these pills. Of course I can’t be 100% sure and also I am not saying you shouldn’t do it. But you should do your own research and decide if it is worth it or not. Decide what is the best for you and your current situation. I did one time take Plan B pill and some would never take them. Because sometimes side effects can be really strong. They say that with Plan B one of the side effects is that you period can be quite irregular and can also be even more painful.

I decided to take it anyways,

because I personally have healthy period and also barley have any pains so I knew for me it wouldn’t be as bad. After taking Plan B I just had one period little lighter than usual and that was it no pain or irregular periods. So see you really need to get to know your body and yourself. You need to decide what is the best for you. One of my friends also took one time Plan B and for 6 months she had very irregular period. For example one time she had period for 2 weeks. That is crazy, that was for sure no fun, but in her opinion she felt better taking it than not taking it.

You also have to ask yourself

what is important my body or my mind. Do you want to be healthy, but then be very stressed out because you might get pregnant. Being certain that you won’t get pregnant is good enough reason to take it. So today my lovely ladies I am testing you to see how well do you know contraceptives and in second article that will come next week I will be giving you all the information you need to make the right decision , if this sounds good to you let’s start this Contraceptives Quiz:

True or False: You can get Plan B without a prescription or ID

True:

You can get Plan B without a prescription, you can get at any pharmacy. But in some country they do sometimes need to discuss it with you in private room before giving it to you.

True or False: Plan B won’t work if you’re already preggers.

View Results

 Loading ...

True:

Some people out there think Plan B is abortion pill, which is false. See here is the problem we have because we don’t get educated on this topic. Plan B is a pill that prevents a pregnancy before it starts when used after unprotected sex or if birth control fails. The reason it doesn’t work when you are already pregnant is because Plan B works by temporarily delaying ovulation. This means if there’s no egg, there can be no fertilization, so because of that there can’t be pregnancy.

So basically you take Plan B when you find yourself in situation where you were unprotected during sex. Take Plan B as soon as possible, the sooner you take the more effect it will be. You have up to 5 days time to take Plan B. Taking Plan B won’t have any negative effects on your body for long term. Just as I said maybe more painful and irregular periods. Also little reminder, yes Plan B is effective but they don’t suggest you take it every month or so, so use it wisely.

Hormonal birth control is bound to impact my future fertility, right?

False:

Taking hormonal birth control won’t lower you changes at getting pregnant in the future. There are for sure some side effects of it that we will talk about next week, but it won’t prevent you from getting pregnant. So you can relax and take birth control without worrying.

Hormonal birth control is bound to impact my future fertility, right?

False:

Yes hormonal birth control are great at preventing pregnancies. But did you know that only condoms have been proven to reduce your risk at of some sexually transmitted infections. Of course that is the case if you are using condoms consistently and correctly. But I am sure you can figure out how to use condom correctly. Any disease like HIV and STIs which are very common can only be prevented by using condom so make sure to use both. And there are many ways to make it feel good even with condom on for example using the lube.

True or False: A birth control pill is pretty much a magical pill that has tons of different medical uses.

 Loading ...

True:

Birth control pills can help you prevent pregnancy, but not only that. Birth control pill can also help you with your skin issues like acne. It can reduce bleeding and cramping with periods, and reduce pain during the ovulation. And much more that we are going to mention in next week’s article.

True or False: Can you get pregnant while using birth control pill?

View Results

 Loading ...

True:

Yes of course you can get pregnant using birth control. It could be that you missed a day or you are not using it correctly or even that this birth control does work well with your body it can have a lot of reasons. That is why using condom is important while on birth control, because when birth control fails you are still good.

True or False: You can't get pregnant when you have your period?

View Results

 Loading ...

False:

Sperm can live for up to five days inside the vagina, uterus, and Fallopian tubes, so it is possible for sperm that entered your body during your period to still be alive when your egg is released during ovulation.

So how well did you do on this Contraceptives Quiz? Comment down below

Taking this Contraceptives Quiz really can you give an idea, where you stand and if you need more education on this topic. As you can see this is huge topic and in between this question I have so much more left to say. It is really important when it comes to contraceptives that you get accurate information, so you can make the right decision.

How to eat healthy: simple ways to be more healthier with minimal effort

How to eat healthy

in today’s article i will give you tips how to eat healthy. This will help you if you are falling behind on your fitness journey or you want to be more healthy and looking for a change in your diet plans. I will be looking for feed back by the end of November on how it worked, this will be a bit long and I will start with the diet plan then workout.

Water:

while wanting to eat healthy is great way to drink more water. When we workout, we feel more thirsty anyway, so we should use it . Drink 3-4liters of water aprox (8oz) everyday on an average, 1-2cups every hour or so.

Protein:

distribute you protein intake through out the day. Make sure its low fat or fat free and take turns between protein types. Now this does not mean that you only eat protein, you can eat carbs but only in the morning (if it is complex carbs ). Simple carbs are limited to vegetables and fruit. Now be careful with fruit too, try to consume it during the day, not night though.

Carbs:

keep your carbs simple. Fruits and vegetables are the 2 things you are allowed. So no sugar, if you must then use honey for the sweet taste. No white flower, no wheat either, you can eat outs, but should be during the morning.

 

Vitamin C:

Vitamin C is needed to boost your metabolism, so try to intake it every 4 hours orange,lime/lemon on salad, green pepper, hot chili pepper are all great options for vitamin C.

Detox and get loose:

one day during the weak you must detox, meaning minimum food intake. If you will eat, you are only allowed to eat raw food ,a lot water, drinking detox drinks and no caffeine. You have one day in the weak, where you can cheat, and eat what you want (great news right) i recommend you detox after your cheat day.

Tea and yogurt :

get some black tea and yogurt, after 30-45min of the main course make simple black tea. Wait for it to be warm so you can squeeze a half a lime on it (no sugar). Before you go to bed around 11pm take the Greek yogurt, and also squeeze a lime on it. But you must have that on an empty stomach (this will take off 80grams of pure fat) of lime is too harsh on your stomach use vitamin C drops.

Never full:

now this is very very important, I cant emphasize enough on how important it is. Now to fill in you stomach with food, when you eat never never eat till you are full, leave some space behind. Eat one third of your stomach to maintain this, drink 2 cups of water 30-20min before you eat anything.

Frequency is key :

you must have heard this a thousand times, but you must eat every 2-3hrs with small amount of food 200-300 calories or less  for each meal , and minimum alcohol consumption is also key. Now that is all for the diet plan, write it down and keep it in you phone to remember it. This plan isn’t just for autumn, its for everyone trying to keep a healthy life style , and i will show modifications throughout seasons to fit it with your needs.

These are some easy and helpful tips to how to eat healthy. This will help you stay on track with your fitness. Eating healthy is also part of loving yourself, you don’t want to feed yourself shitty food. But remember cheat day is allowed, and eat things that you enjoy.

Reminder: Take care of your health!

How to speak up: easy guide to speak up with confidence under a week

How to speak up

Our society isn’t really welcoming,

when it comes to woman speaking up. Women are often told they are too attractive to be smart, or that woman shouldn’t be smart it makes her look bad. They purpose of saying this, is to make women feel uncomfortable about speaking up. See our society see’s woman who speaks up as a threat, speaking up means she holds the power and they obviously don’t like that. Speaking up means you have knowledge and are smart, but what our society fails to realise is that all of us are smart even if we don’t speak up, we might hide it, but everyone is smart inside. Some people hide it because they feel like it, some hide it so they don’t want to feel uncomfortable.

[full_width][/full_width] [wpcs id=1075]

The bottom line

is that women don’t feel comfortable speaking up about something they have a lot knowledge about and a lot to say about. It is not right to make someone feel uncomfortable speaking up, every human has right to speak up. And it is really sad seeing powerful women not being able to speak up. But I get it I have been there too, we as women no matter how strong we are, we are taught not to speak up and we do this, but we shouldn’t do it. We have as much right to speak up as men do, so today my beautiful queens I will give some simple tips how to gain confidence to speak up. This could be when speaking up regarding issues like sexism, disrespect as well as just in general at work place.

-Take small steps:

At first it is quite scary speaking up, so you can start by practicing with someone you trust. Practice with a friend, just pretend as if she was some stranger or your boss and your are expressing how you feel about certain situation. Practice as much as you can, so you get comfortable with it. You can even practice in front of mirror, but I do feel practicing with someone will help you out more, because they can give you feedback and you can make improvements if there is something to improve. Just practice and with every practice you will get better and better.

-Identify Occasions You Feel Comfortable Speaking 

Maybe there were situation, where you were able to speak up. Think about it why were you able to speak up then? Acknowledge why it was good thing to speak up in this situation. Maybe you did something to prepare yourself for what, what was it? Addressing  this can help you out build confidence to speak up in other situation too. Knowing the benefits of speaking up, can help you out a lot. You might still be scared, but it will push you to do it anyways knowing the all good that will come with it.

-Write down what you are going to say

I personally know whenever just say in my head what I am going to say, I end up say something completely different. We humans don’t function well, just by saying in head especially when you are going to have uncomfortable conversation. So writing it down will help you, you don’t need to write all details, but important points will help. I also think writing down will help you memorise it and then you might not even need to use notes. But it is good to help you stay on track, and knowing you will say exactly that will build up your confidence.

-Get out of comfort zone:

Getting out of comfort zone has so many benefits, and also will build up your confidence in speaking up. It can be something that is directed to communication for example go to networking event and try to introduce yourself and speak with people, or maybe go traveling by yourself. It can be anything that you wouldn’t do, but of course even better if communication is involved. We are so used to being in our little bubble and getting outside of it, can really help us grow. Give me some good ideas for out of comfort zone in comments I might do some of them!

-Find your voice:

I think for anyone it is important find their voice before speaking up. What is the goal of that conversation? What are you trying to gain from it? Who will you help with it? Who will you inspire? Why is your voice worth being heard? All these little things can really help you boost your confidence and motivate you to speak up. Even if the answer is I am trying to help myself get better salary is good enough reason. Our brain works well with having reason for doing something and if the reason is very positive and can help someone even better. So try doing this, write down and repeat many times before speaking.

-Take Action, Rather Than Seeking Perfection First:

Confidence won’t come if you just sit around, it comes by taking action. You take action and there you go your confidence is up, you sit your confidence is down. So you might not have confidence to speak up, but if you do it regardless you will gain confidence for next time. So step up and take action.

-Focus On Facts, Not Emotions:

When speaking up you can get emotions, you are in a way expressing how you feel, but leave emotions for later. It was proven when speaking up, when you focus on facts and go straight to the point and not involve your emotions, you will perform better in conversation.

-Pay Attention To Your Body And Verbal Language:

Your body and verbal language is as important as the conversation when speaking up. How you hold yourself can help you out a lot so people take you seriously. Straightening your shoulders can really help you out as well as other things. One way to practice is to video tap yourself and then let someone give you feedback. Getting coach for this can also be very helpful. The way you hold yourself can really boost your confidence.

-Let Go Of Outcomes:

So many people are too focused on outcome. I feel people don’t like the idea they might get rejected or that they wouldn’t bring their point across. I get it, it is not the best feeling, but honestly so what at least you tried. You need to learn that you can’t control how others will react, the only thing you can do is speak up and see how they react, but not worry too much about it.

-Be An Advocate For Others:

Helping others with their struggles, can help you out a lot. It can boost your confidence, the feeling of being needed and that you helped someone has big impact on your confidence. And also it makes you feel you have some knowledge, which will motivate you to speak up. Feeling you know what you are doing, can really be helpful. Of course boosting your confidence shouldn’t be the reasons for helping someone, but I would say it is for sure a bonus.

These tips are

quite easy, but will have big impact on your confidence to speak up. Speaking up is never easy, even for people who do that often, but it is a must to success in life. People can’t know how you feel unless you tell them, so you got to open your mouth. By speaking up you don’t also free yourself from your feelings, but also you gain respect by speaking up. Trying practicing and applying these tips in your daily routine, and you will be pro in no time.

I used to let my twin sister do all the talk for me, and would never speak how I feel. Today it is different story. I am more than comfortable calling people out, and speaking up if there is anything I don’t like in every aspect in my life. I am more than confident to go up to my boss and tell him if I don’t like something. All it took was working on being more comfortable with speaking up and of course gaining more confidence. You can be this too just by practicing everyday.

Hopefully this can help anyone struggling with speaking up. You can do it, I believe in you!

Reminder: You are worthy of being heard!

Pro Life vs Pro Choice

 

Pro Life vs Pro Choice

Pro Life and Pro Choice labels are so confusing and I always keep getting messages on instagram to explain what is the difference or what if I am little bit of both what should I call myself? And this is perfect example of what actually labels do, just make all of us so confused so maybe we all should stop basically labelling everything. Anyways back to the topic I feel these two labels are putting people in two boxes and in a way forcing people to be in one of the boxes. These labels are very close minded and makes you feel you are not free to make your own choice.

In my opinion there should only be one label when it comes to abortion and that should be only PRO CHOICE. You don’t have to do it yourself, but feel everyone should feel comfortable making decisions about their body without being judged. That is why Pro Life is just an excuse for close minded people to judge others. But sadly there are still two labels so let’s go over and I will also add my opinion about it:

But first funny meme haha got to thank memes to making everything lighter

Yes see I don’t see you all pro life looking people who are born! I guess different nationality and color means not worthy very bad!

Pro Choice:

So people who are Pro-Choice know that everyone has basic human rights to make decision if they want to have children or not. It is your choice and your body and no one has any right to judge for it. People who are Pro-Choice believe it is okay for you to be able to choice abortion as a choice for unplanned pregnancy. These people might not want to choose abortion for themselves, but still believe it is okay to do it and for you to have ability to do it.

Most healthcare organisations call Pro Choice Pro-Reproductive Rights. According to Planned Parenthood it gives people more variety of beliefs.

Some more memes:

Yes see you don’t really care what happens to woman and also the baby when it is born!
Yes makes no sense!

Pro Life:

People who are against abortion are called Pro Life. But in my experience from all my abortion posts on twitter and instagram these people don’t really care about women’s life having unplanned pregnancies and after the child is born. The only thing they are worried about is fertilized egg, embryo or fetus and it is funny how they call themselves Pro Life. How are you Pro Life, when you don’t care if women’s life is ruined.

Most healthcare organisations call Pro Life Anti-Abortion.

Yes so many children left with no parents, that is not a good life!

My take on it:

So now on to my opinion Pro Life is the right choice and the only choice that should exist. Everyone has right to make their own decisions, especially when it is about their body and also very big and life changing decision. No one would go through abortion just because. If someone goes through with it, it is because they are simply not ready and that is fine. Things happened you learn, but you don’t have to suffer through. You should be able to get abortion and also not be judged by anyone for it.

If we lived in perfect world, everyone would mind their own business and accept the fact someone is not ready. Sadly we are not there yet and who knows if we will ever be. People have no right to judge you or have opinion about your body doesn’t matter if they wouldn’t do it themselves no right on opinion. The term Pro Life should be cut off and also Pro Choice, because then we are supporting this labelling. We should just support anyone who wants to get abortion and people who don’t support it should just not say anything. It is honestly so stupid, because we all know they couldn’t care less about life of someone. It is all, because you are destroying their political views and beliefs.

Let’s be positive and stop being judgement towards someone!
