What should I pay attention to when inducing labor at 5 months?

Many female friends need to have induced labor after having a baby, either because of the fetus or the mother's body. However, most female friends are not clear about what to pay attention to during induced labor. Next, we will ask authoritative experts to explain to you what to pay attention to during induced labor at 5 months, and how to care after induced labor.

The use of artificial means to terminate pregnancy during the 12-24th week of pregnancy is called mid-pregnancy induced abortion. This period is characterized by the formation of the placenta, a larger fetus, harder bones, and the need for full cervical dilation for delivery. In addition, as the uterus enlarges, the uterine wall becomes congested and softened, and it is easy to damage the uterine wall during surgery. Therefore, mid-term induced labor is more difficult and has more complications than early-term artificial abortion. Commonly used induction of labor procedures include water bag induction, drug induction (rivanol, trichosanthes and genkwa induction, etc.).

Mid-term pregnancy abortion is required in the following situations:

1. Contraceptive failure, intentional or unintentional failure to detect early pregnancy.

2. The pregnant woman suffers from a certain disease and cannot continue the pregnancy. Such as rheumatic heart disease combined with heart failure, tumors, schizophrenia, etc.

3. If amniocentesis confirms that the fetus has a genetic disease, congenital malformation or intrauterine fetal death, the pregnancy must be terminated.

4. Those who cannot continue the pregnancy due to some unexpected events, such as widowhood, divorce or car accidents.

Different mid-term induction methods have their own specific contraindications, and all mid-term induction surgeries should be considered to be postponed or a relatively safe induction method should be used for the patient when encountering the following situations.

1. For those with poor general condition, such as severe anemia, active tuberculosis, heart failure, etc., although it is dangerous to perform induced abortion at this time, if the pregnancy is not terminated, it will aggravate the condition and threaten life. Please ask gynecologists, internal medicine doctors and surgeons to work together to take rescue measures to ensure the safety of the pregnant woman.

2. Inflammation of the reproductive organs.

3. In the acute stage of various internal diseases, the body temperature is higher than 37.5°C.

4. Those with uterine wall surgical scars less than two years old.
