This is a study that you can follow up on easily. It‘s availble free at the referenced website. Just a little bit more info here:
For the study women who underwent an abortion of experienced a miscarriage at a particular city hospital were invited
to join the study. Roughly half or 120 women said yes. They were asked to fill in a questionnaire at 10 days, 6 months, 2
years and 5 years after the end of their pregnancy. A female psychiatrist employed at the hospital conducted an initial
interview. There were efforts taken to keep results accurate…such as comparing only early abortions and early
miscarriages, ruling out prior mental illness (and noting previous use or need for mental health services), disability or
language barriers. Have a look at the study yourself – it‘s interesting!

The method I am referring to is an ‗air amniogram,‘ a monitoring technique used before the days of ultrasounds.
Chamberlain, Babies Remember Birth, p. 69.
Here is the full story for your interest. The quote originally came from a book titled
Modern Motherhood, printed in
1969. The doctor…
―…injected an air bubble into the baby‘s amniotic sac and then took x-rays. It so happened that the air bubble covered
the baby‘s face. The whole procedure had no doubt given the little fellow quite a bit of jostling about, and the moment
he had air to inhale and exhale they heard the clear sound of a protesting wail emitting from the uterus. Late that same
night, the mother awakened her doctor with a telephone call, to report that when she lay down to sleep the air bubble
got over the baby‘s head again, and he was crying so loudly he was keeping both her and her husband awake. The doctor
advised her to prop herself upright with pillows so that the air could not reach the baby‘s head, which was by now in the
lower part of the uterus.‖
