Can I have an abortion during breastfeeding?

For women who are exclusively breastfeeding after cesarean section, if they become pregnant again during breastfeeding, they are generally recommended to take mifepristone and miso for medical abortion. This is because the uterus is relatively soft at this time and the uterine scar has not healed well, so artificial abortion is generally not used to terminate the pregnancy to avoid internal bleeding caused by the scar wound. However, if the woman is breastfeeding after a normal birth, she can immediately choose abortion to terminate the pregnancy, because medical abortion may result in incomplete or even unsuccessful abortion.

Generally speaking, abortion is possible in the first month of pregnancy, but the specific situation still depends on the patient's embryonic development. If a gynecological transvaginal color Doppler ultrasound reveals that the test tube embryo is very small and almost invisible, then in this case it is recommended to return for a follow-up visit one week later to see whether a miscarriage is possible. Generally speaking, for intrauterine pregnancies within 49 days, medical abortion can be used. Medical abortion mainly kills the embryo in the test tube, causes uterine contraction and softening of the cervix, so if the pregnancy is very small, there may be incomplete medical abortion.

Abortion is possible in the fourth month of pregnancy, but the fetus has already formed and the gestational age is relatively long. If there is no fertility requirement, hospitalization for induced labor is required. In this case, the pregnancy cannot be terminated in the hospital because the treatment facilities in the hospital are relatively weaker than those in the ward, and the treatment measures are relatively worse.

If the patient does not have fertility requirements and accidentally becomes pregnant, it is recommended that the patient go to the hospital for medical examination as soon as possible and terminate the pregnancy as soon as possible. Do not wait until the 1st month to terminate the pregnancy, because the older the month, the greater the harm to women. In addition, after undergoing an abortion or induced labor, you need to pay attention to rest, eat more high-protein foods, avoid excessive exercise, and strictly refrain from sexual intercourse.
