Can I abort my pregnancy at 3 months? What is the best time to abort?

Many pregnant mothers are told that there are problems with the fetus during physical examinations, and at this time they are faced with the dilemma of having an abortion. If it is in the early stages of pregnancy, abortion is relatively easy and causes less harm to the mother. But if you consider aborting the baby after three months of pregnancy, is it possible? If the baby is aborted at this time, what harm will it cause to the mother?

1. Can I have an abortion if I am three months pregnant?

Can I have an abortion three months into my pregnancy? This depends on the development of the gestational sac. You can go to a regular professional hospital for a check-up and choose an appropriate method of terminating the pregnancy under the doctor's advice. Generally speaking, artificial abortion can be performed before 14 weeks of pregnancy. It is better to have an artificial abortion within 10 weeks of pregnancy. During 10-14 weeks of pregnancy, because the embryo is gradually growing, the placenta has been formed, and the uterus has also grown, it is not appropriate to use simple suction uterine abortion at this time, but need to use forceps curettage.

2. The best time for surgical and medical abortion

1. Artificial abortion

Abortion is suitable for pregnant women within 10 weeks. Within 10 weeks of pregnancy, the uterus is not too large, the fetus and placenta have not yet formed, and there is generally no need to dilate the cervix, making it easier to suck out the fetal mass. When the pregnancy is 10-14 weeks, because the embryo is gradually growing, the placenta has been formed, and the uterus has also grown, it is not appropriate to use simple suction uterine abortion at this time, but need to use forceps curettage. This abortion operation is difficult, involves heavy bleeding, and a relatively slow recovery, which has certain effects on the body. In short, the best time for abortion is 35-50 days (5-7 weeks) of pregnancy, and no later than 60 days. If ultrasound shows that the gestational sac is larger than 5mm, abortion can be performed.

2. Medical abortion

Experts say: Usually the best time for medical abortion is less than 49 days of pregnancy, which is within one and a half months after menopause. Because at this time the uterus is not too big, there is not much pregnancy tissue, and the fetus is also small. Relatively speaking, the risk of medical abortion will be lower if it is performed within the optimal time. However, you need to stay in the hospital to observe whether the pregnancy tissue is completely discharged, otherwise improper abortion will cause heavy bleeding. If the fetal sac is not expelled after medication, B-ultrasound confirms that there are only residues in the uterine cavity, there is excessive vaginal bleeding, prolonged bleeding, blood and urine HCG fails to turn negative, or there is heavy bleeding during the first menstrual period, the patient must undergo uterine curettage.

In short, if you are already three months pregnant, it is recommended that you go to a regular hospital's gynecology department for relevant examinations in time. Generally, the doctor will choose a method of termination of pregnancy that is suitable for you based on your physical condition, number of days of pregnancy, etc.
