I'm writing a sci-fi novel with some very real scenarios. And this scenario is particularly dark and emotionally charged for a lot of people. If you can read and respond objectively, I'd appreciate it.

The protagonist is the survivor of a botched abortion, but she doesn't know it yet. Besides some physical setbacks, I picture her to have unexplained anxiety and almost PTSD symptoms. But I'm really not sure if this is medically realistic, since she wouldn't remember the botched abortion. I do know that abortion survivors who learn their siblings were aborted often feel survivors guilt and massive insecurity about being loved...but again, my character doesn't know anything about what happened to her. She has a good adopted family.

I could take creative license and say that the subconscious remembers what the conscious mind does not. But I'd still like to be more or less realistic.

Thank you.

EDIT: Just thought this might be helpful: The character also had one or two major operations as an infant, to help her survive. Again, not consciously remembered. Also, I should have clarified this before...but it's not necessary for my character to have PTSD like symptoms. I was just exploring the possibility, thinking it may add depth.
