7 months medical abortion

Pregnant women must take their bodies seriously, because once they become pregnant, their bodies will undergo great changes. But some people are very irresponsible. For example, after becoming pregnant, the child is already seven months old, but you don’t want it anymore. They began to try every possible means to abort the child, using artificial abortion or medical abortion. Normally, the fetus is fully formed by seven months. It is best not to have an abortion. But is it possible to have a medical abortion at 7 months?

No! If the child is healthy, it is recommended to give birth to the baby! If the fetus has problems, it must be abandoned. At this size, induced abortion is the only option.

What situations require induced labor

1. Pregnant women with chronic nephritis

Pregnant women with chronic nephritis will have decreased body functions and accelerated metabolism after pregnancy, which will increase the burden on their kidneys. If they also have high blood pressure at this time, the fetus cannot be kept in the womb and early induced labor is required. If you suffer from this disease, pregnancy will not only make the adult's condition worse and shorten their lifespan, but it will also cause the fetus to die in the womb. Therefore, in this case, the pregnancy should be ended as soon as possible.

2. Intrauterine fetal death

When pregnant women have regular prenatal checkups, they must check whether the fetus is normal. If the examination finds that the fetus has no heartbeat and is confirmed dead, induced labor will need to be performed as soon as possible to ensure the safety of the pregnant woman's life.

3. Pregnant women with severe gestosis

Pregnancy toxification usually occurs after the 20th week of pregnancy, when there will be many discomfort symptoms. Pregnant women with pregnancy toxification will have symptoms such as high blood pressure, dizziness, and proteinuria. If preeclampsia becomes severe, symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, convulsions and coma may occur. If you do not go to the hospital for treatment in time, the worsening condition will cause the embryo to separate from the uterus prematurely, causing heavy bleeding in the pregnant woman. If the embryo separates from the uterus, it will lose oxygen supply and suffocate to death. Once severe preeclampsia is discovered, you need to go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible. If it cannot be cured, induced abortion should be performed.

4. Fetuses with malformations that cannot survive

When the fetus reaches 18-24 weeks, ultrasound screening should be performed. This examination can detect some common fetal malformations, such as hydrocephalus, anencephaly, congenital heart disease, etc. If the fetus is indeed found to have malformations, the pregnancy cannot be continued and induced abortion is the only option.

5. Pregnant women with excessive amniotic fluid

There are many reasons for excessive amniotic fluid, generally speaking it is due to fetal malformation, placental lesions, maternal and fetal diseases, twins, etc. Therefore, when there is too much amniotic fluid, you should go to the hospital for examination to confirm the cause. Another problem is that when there is too much amniotic fluid, the pregnant woman's heart will shift, and she will often have symptoms such as inability to lie flat, poor sleep and diet, etc. Since excessive amniotic fluid is generally caused by fetal disease and other conditions, women with excessive amniotic fluid need to undergo induced labor.

6. Pregnant women suffer from diabetes or other serious organ diseases

Pregnant women suffering from these diseases are generally physically weak and mentally unwell. In severe cases, these diseases may affect the health of the fetus and cause harm to the mother. So once this happens, you should consider ending the pregnancy.

The best time to induce labor

Induced labor refers to the method of ending pregnancy by artificial means after 12 weeks of pregnancy, so of course the earlier the pregnancy is ended, the better. The earlier the month and the longer the time, the greater the damage to the pregnant woman's uterus. Generally, 12 to 24 weeks is considered mid-term induced labor, and the fetus has already been formed at this time. If induced labor is to be performed, the uterus must be expanded, which can easily damage the uterine wall and make induced labor more difficult than in the early stages, so early induced labor surgery should be performed as soon as possible.

· Examinations for induction of labor

The tests to be done for induction of labor include:

1. First, the doctor needs to have a detailed understanding of the pregnant woman's medical history, which generally includes pregnancy and delivery history, family medical history, bleeding conditions, history of liver and kidney diseases, and the specific circumstances of this pregnancy.

2. Secondly, a full-body examination should be conducted to understand the overall physical condition of the pregnant woman, clarify her body temperature, blood pressure and other routine physical conditions, and perform blood and urine tests. Sometimes it is also necessary to check liver and kidney function, perform electrocardiograms and dialysis.

3. Gynecological examinations generally require understanding the specific conditions of the vulva, vagina, uterus, and cervix, and routine leucorrhea testing to determine the cleanliness of the vagina.

4. If you suffer from cervicitis and the symptoms are severe, accompanied by abnormal leucorrhea and excessive secretions, you need to be cured before undergoing an induced abortion.

5. When preparing for surgery, in order to prevent infection during or after the operation, pregnant women should take certain antibiotics, and before that, allergic reactions in pregnant women should be avoided.

6. Before inducing abortion, pregnant women who are in a late stage of pregnancy or have cervical hypoplasia need to take a certain amount of mifepristone orally.

7. In certain circumstances, an ultrasonic examination is also required to more conveniently determine the location of the placenta. Pregnant women with a low-lying placenta may not be able to undergo induced labor.

Methods of inducing labor

There are many methods of inducing labor, which can generally be divided into three categories: water bag induction, medical induction and cesarean section.

1. Water bag induction of labor: This is a method of induction of labor that uses mechanical methods to achieve the purpose of induction of labor. First, a special medical water bag filled with sterile saline is placed between the uterine wall and the gestational sac. Generally, uterine contractions will occur between 12 and 24 hours after the water bag is placed, which will cause natural miscarriage. After induction of labor, the integrity of the placenta must be checked to determine whether a curettage is needed.

2. Medical induction of labor: In the second trimester, the uterus is in a relatively stable stage and there is no obvious contraction of the uterus. On the one hand, medical induction of labor stimulates the contraction of the uterus, and on the other hand, it reduces the secretion of placental hormones and kills the fetus. Commonly used drugs include prostaglandins, trichosanthes, levavanol, etc., which can be injected via intra-amniotic injection and extra-amniotic injection. Medical induction of labor is a process in which the placenta is first separated from the uterus and then expelled naturally. However, if the drug dosage is not well controlled in this method, it will cause severe uterine contractions and damage the birth canal of the pregnant woman. The ideal drug effect is that uterine contractions are not very severe, there is no residue in the uterus after drug-induced abortion, and the amount of bleeding is not large.

3. Cesarean section: Cesarean section is a surgical method to induce labor through abdominal section or vaginal section. However, this method is generally only used when the pregnant woman has physical limitations and is not used under normal circumstances.

How long does it take to get pregnant again after induced abortion?

After induced abortion, a woman's body is equivalent to having undergone an operation. At this time, the body is extremely weak, and if it is not handled with care, it may lead to infection and cause gynecological diseases in women.

1. No sexual intercourse for one month. Generally speaking, sexual intercourse is prohibited within one month after an induced abortion. Pregnant women need a process of body conditioning. The endometrium, vagina and uterine wall are all damaged to varying degrees. Sometimes, because the fluid is not completely drained during surgery, a curettage operation is required, which will make the uterine wall thinner and damage the vitality. In addition to resting in bed, you also need to eat nutritious food and pay attention to hygiene. Having sex too early can cause women to lose their physical strength and may also introduce bacteria and cause infection.

2. Contraceptive measures should be taken. Even if you can have sex, you still need to take contraceptive measures, and it is best to wait a year before conceiving. After induced abortion, you need to recuperate for a month and go to the hospital for a check-up to see how your recovery is going. If you recover well, you can have sex, but it does not mean you can get pregnant. Because of the previous uterine damage, if the interval between pregnancies is too short, miscarriage may occur because the placenta cannot absorb the uterine wall.

After induced labor, it is best to follow the doctor's instructions for care and not to judge your own physical condition based on assumptions. It is best to have a prenatal check-up before preparing for pregnancy to see if your physical condition is suitable for another pregnancy.

· The hazards of induced labor

1. When inducing labor, if you use medication, excessive use of medication will cause strong uterine contractions, which will then cause damage to the birth canal and reduce the elasticity of the cervix.

2. Induced abortion will also make the uterine wall thinner, which will increase the risk of pregnancy and cause habitual miscarriage.

3. Uterine rupture occurs during induced labor, which may leave bruises on the uterine wall. This will make it more difficult to get pregnant or give birth in the future. In addition, the lack of elasticity of the uterus may cause uterine rupture. In addition, excessive use of medication during induction of labor will cause severe uterine contractions, but the narrow cervix cannot expel the detached embryo and placenta from the body in time, which will cause uterine rupture.

· Precautions before and after induction of labor

Things to note before induction of labor

1. Before inducing labor, you must first conduct a thorough examination to determine the time for induction and the body's adaptability. Do not induce labor blindly.

2. Before induced labor, you must pay attention to personal hygiene, keep your genitals clean, wash your underwear frequently, and take a bath regularly to lay a good foundation for induced labor and prevent abnormal situations that may prevent induced labor surgery.

3. During the operation, the doctor must prevent vaginal infection and perform sterile operations.

Precautions after induction of labor

1. Pay attention to the recovery after induced abortion: If there is heavy bleeding or fever, you should go to the hospital for examination in time to determine the cause, take antibiotics to control inflammation and prevent infection, because the inflammation after induced abortion can cause many gynecological diseases, such as cervicitis, peritonitis, etc.

2. Pay attention to strengthening nutrition: After induced abortion, there will generally be bleeding, the amount of blood is similar to menstruation, and it usually lasts for a few days. Moreover, induced labor causes great damage to the body. After induced labor, the body will be deficient in qi and blood, and needs some nutritious food for nourishment. In addition, it is necessary to maintain the nutritional balance accordingly and pay attention to the combination of food.

3. Pay attention to personal hygiene: After induced abortion, the cervix is ​​in an open state and it takes some time for it to recover before it can close. At this time, the genitals will be more fragile and susceptible to bacterial infection, so special attention should be paid to the hygiene of the genitals. Try to take a shower when bathing, wear cotton underwear to keep it ventilated and breathable, and change it frequently.

4. Pay attention to rest: You need to stay in bed to rest after induced labor. Generally speaking, you need to stay in bed for about two weeks. You cannot get out of bed and walk around too early, and you cannot do housework or some physical labor. Therefore, after induced abortion, sexual intercourse is not allowed within one month due to consideration of women's physical strength.

5. Don’t rush to get pregnant again: It normally takes 8 months of rest after induced abortion for the endometrium to return to normal, and it is generally recommended to get pregnant again after a year, so before that, strict contraceptive measures must be taken to prevent pregnancy.

6. Keep a happy mood: Some people will have psychological trauma after induced abortion, thinking that they can never get pregnant again or that there is something wrong with their body, but these actually lack scientific knowledge. As long as there is no problem with your body after the examination, you can still get pregnant again, so there is no need to worry too much. Maintaining a good mood will help your body recover faster and be conducive to conception in the future.

Will induced abortion lead to infertility?

Whether induced abortion will lead to infertility is a question that many people are concerned about, because after being forced to end the life of a child, parents will still look forward to the arrival of the next baby.

Secondary infertility

Since the uterus has expanded to varying degrees during pregnancy of more than 3 months, any induced abortion will cause great damage to the uterine wall, birth canal and the female body. Therefore, each induced abortion may cause secondary infertility. Even if some women are able to get pregnant again, it is not easy to maintain the pregnancy and they may have habitual miscarriage.

The so-called secondary infertility refers to the situation where no contraceptive measures are taken within one year after the induced abortion surgery, normal sexual intercourse but no pregnancy. There are many reasons for this situation, generally speaking it is mainly due to the lack of high-quality follicles or blockage of the fallopian tubes. However, under normal circumstances, it will not cause long-term infertility, so after induced abortion, you should rest well and recover as soon as possible. If you are pregnant, you should pay attention to bed rest and take measures to protect the fetus.
