Induction of labor after 28 weeks

From the perspective of medicine and the harm to the pregnant woman's body, induced labor is generally more suitable between the third and seventh months of pregnancy. If it exceeds the seventh month, the harm and risk to the body are very high, so as to avoid causing harm to the body. Is it legal to perform an abortion at 28 weeks of pregnancy?

Is it legal to induce abortion at 28 weeks of pregnancy?

The 28th week of pregnancy is considered premature. Due to the advanced stage of pregnancy, if an induced abortion is required, an induced abortion certificate issued by the family planning unit is required before hospitalization for the surgery. In addition, fetuses born at 28 weeks are generally alive. Induced abortion is not allowed unless the fetus is underdeveloped or underdeveloped. In China, the key thing is not to check the gender of the fetus, because some people check the gender of the fetus based on some information during pregnancy. They want to have a boy, but after a physical examination they find out that they are pregnant with a girl, they want to have an induced abortion. This is not allowed in China and is against the law. Therefore, if you want to have an induced abortion, you must have an induced abortion certificate issued by the family planning policy unit, unless the baby has serious developmental deformities, etc., in which case induced abortion can be allowed. When is the best time for an induced abortion? Generally speaking, when a woman is 12 to 24 weeks pregnant, artificial services are used to induce uterine contractions and terminate the pregnancy, which can be called mid-pregnancy induced abortion; after 28 weeks of pregnancy, artificial services are used to induce uterine contractions and terminate the pregnancy, which is called late-pregnancy induced abortion. In reality, there is no actual best time to induce labor, because the sooner it is performed, the less harm it will cause to the woman. Therefore, induced labor should be performed within 12 to 24 weeks of pregnancy as much as possible. During the 12th to 24th week of pregnancy, the embryo has been formed, the fetus is very large, and the bones are hard. The cervix needs to be fully dilated for delivery. In addition, due to the enlargement of the uterus and the loosening of the endometrium, it is easy to damage the endometrium during surgery. Mid-term abortion is more difficult than early pregnancy abortion and has more complications. Therefore, induced labor should be performed as late as possible during this period. Otherwise, the later the induced labor is performed, the greater the damage to the woman's body, and it may even cause infertility. It is important to note that because induced abortion is very harmful to women's bodies, women who have undergone induced abortion must do a good job of postoperative medical care, eat more nutritious foods, and take good care of their bodies.

Can I have an induced abortion at 7 and a half months of pregnancy?

If you are already 7 months pregnant, it is recommended to preserve the fetus as much as possible. If you don't want to have a child, the only option is induced abortion. The risk of surgery is greater than that of abortion. If you have already decided to have an induced abortion, you should do it as soon as possible. When induced abortion is performed in the seventh month of pregnancy, the embryo has already been formed, the fetus is large, the bones are hard, and the cervix needs to be fully dilated during delivery.

In addition, as the uterus enlarges and the endometrial hematoma becomes loose, the endometrium is easily damaged during surgery. Therefore, mid-term abortion is more difficult and has more complications than early abortion, so early abortion should be performed as much as possible.
