How long can you not have an abortion?

Many female friends have to choose to have an abortion after an unexpected pregnancy. Similarly, many expectant mothers are very happy about the arrival of the baby, but have to have an abortion due to factors such as congenital maldevelopment. So no matter what time period the abortion surgery is performed, it will cause certain harm to the female body and mind. Therefore, women must take measures to protect themselves. So how long does a woman have to be pregnant before she can not have an abortion? Let’s take a look together below!

1. The best time for abortion is about one and a half months after pregnancy. Generally speaking, abortion can be performed within three months of pregnancy. If an abortion is performed at this time, the fetus has not yet formed and the uterus is not too large, so a simple suction uterus extraction can be performed, which will cause minimal harm to women.

2. When the pregnancy is more than 10 weeks, abortion surgery with forceps should be performed. Because the fetus is already large at this time and the uterus is expanding, a curettage abortion is needed to completely remove the fetus. This method causes a large amount of bleeding, slows the body's repair, and is not good for the body.

3. If the pregnancy is more than 14 weeks, the patient needs to be hospitalized for induced abortion. Because at this time the size of the fetus is no longer suitable for the above-mentioned painless abortion. Induced abortion surgery is more dangerous and complicated than previous abortions, and it also causes greater harm to women's bodies.

4. After all, abortion involves a life, so the timing must be determined correctly to reduce the harm to women and protect them well. It is not good to do it too early or too late. Generally, gynecologists recommend that painless abortion is suitable for pregnancies within 12 weeks. Pregnancies over 12 weeks require mid-term induced abortion.

5. Another misunderstanding is that everyone says that if you have to have an abortion, the sooner the better to prevent the baby from developing. However, if it is too early, the embryo will just develop and is still very small, so it is easy to have empty or missed aspiration, causing the operation to fail or incomplete abortion, and the result is that you have to do another uterine curettage. If you have an abortion too late, the embryo will grow too much and the gestational sac will be larger, resulting in relatively more bleeding and greater damage.

In fact, if a woman is planning to have an abortion, she must make a decision in time. If she waits until the 12th week of pregnancy, she will need to undergo an induced abortion, which will cause great harm to the woman's body. However, it is best to take preventive measures during sexual intercourse to reduce unnecessary harm. If you choose an abortion in time, you also need to choose a large hospital.
