How many months of pregnancy can you abort the fetus

In the early stages of a woman's pregnancy, if she does not want to have a baby, she can have the fetus removed through surgical or medical abortion. However, as the pregnancy date increases, the fetus in the woman's belly will become larger and larger, and has already developed bones. It can no longer be removed by abortion, and only induced labor can be performed. At how many months of pregnancy can an abortion be performed?

1. How many months of pregnancy can it be difficult to have an abortion?

After the third month of pregnancy, abortion is no longer possible and only induced labor can be performed. If you don't want to have this child, it is recommended to have a painless abortion as soon as possible. After surgery, you should pay attention to rest and improve your nutrition. Do not engage in heavy physical work or strenuous activities within half a month, and avoid contact with cold water. Eat more angelica and astragalus stewed bones to nourish blood and qi. Sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited within one month.

2. What is induced labor?

Induced abortion refers to a necessary surgical treatment measure taken when the best time for abortion is missed during pregnancy, or when the fetus experiences abnormal growth and development. The process of induced labor is to use drugs to kill the fetus in the uterine cavity, perform anesthesia on the pregnant woman, and use oxytocin to promote uterine contractions to expel the dead fetus out of the body. The process of induced labor is very similar to giving birth, and the pain felt is the same as a natural birth.

3. Harms of induced labor

The process of inducing labor may cause damage to the birth canal. During the process of inducing labor, because of the strong contraction of the uterus, the small cervical opening and poor elasticity, damage to the birth canal is usually prone to occur, such as lacerations of the posterior vaginal fornix, cervical opening, and vaginal lacerations. At this time, the laceration site should be clearly exposed and sutured immediately to achieve the purpose of blood circulation.

There is also another more serious injury, namely uterine rupture.

1. The fetal position is not determined before the induced abortion or there are fetal deformities, such as hydrocephalus, conjoined twins, etc., which cause the fetus to be obstructed during delivery, but cannot be delivered from the vagina, eventually leading to uterine rupture. The rupture is mostly in the lower part of the uterus, so it becomes too thin after expansion.

2. In addition, if there is a history of abortion rupture, too many abortions, and there are old bruises on the endometrium, when the woman gives birth again, due to the obvious uterine contractions, uterine rupture is also very likely to occur.

3. Indiscriminate use of oxytocin during induction of labor can cause the uterus to contract significantly due to excessive dosage, making it impossible for the cervical opening to expand, and may also cause uterine rupture.

According to the detailed introduction in the article, we can understand that after three months of pregnancy, the fetus can no longer be removed by abortion, and the baby in the belly can only be removed by induced labor. Induced abortion will cause a lot of injuries, which is actually like giving birth. It can be seen that the pain is very great, so it is best to avoid induced abortion.
