Can I abort my baby when I'm 6 months pregnant?

Pregnancy is very important for a woman. Without compelling reasons, I believe that no expectant mother would like to abort her own child. From the combination of sperm and egg to the fetus in the sixth month, the expectant mother has already felt the fetal movement and has become one with the fetus. However, if the child is deformed or other reasons, an abortion is necessary. Then the question is, can an abortion be performed in the sixth month of pregnancy?

Can I still have an abortion if I'm 6 months pregnant?

What should be paid attention to during minimally invasive abortion? Although minimally invasive abortion can avoid pain and reduce excessive stimulation of the sympathetic nerves, it also has common problems. The following are the actual problems:

1. The woman should be observed for 2 hours after the abortion, paying attention to vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain. If there is no reaction, she can go home.

2. You need to rest for 2 weeks after minimally invasive abortion surgery, avoid catching cold and fever, and eat more nutritious foods to help the body recover as soon as possible.

3. Within a period of time after the abortion, the trauma on the uterine wall has not healed, the cervical opening has relaxed, the original mucus plug in the cervix (which has the function of preventing bacteria from entering the uterine cavity) has been removed, and a new mucus plug has not formed. At this time, if you do not pay attention to the vaginal hygiene, vaginal bacteria can easily enter the uterine cavity and cause infection.

4. After minimally invasive abortion surgery, you should maintain daily cleaning of the vulva, clean it with warm water 1-2 times a day, and wash menstrual pads and toilet paper frequently. There is no need to take a bath within 2 weeks of abortion or before vaginal bleeding stops. Sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited within 1 month to prevent male reproductive organ infection. If you have a fever, abdominal pain, or an unusual odor in your female discharge, it may be an infection and you should seek medical attention immediately.

5. After the embryo is separated during abortion, the wound left on the inner wall of the uterus may bleed. This situation is accompanied by uterine contractions and wound repair. Generally, vaginal bleeding will gradually stop in 3-5 days and will not exceed 10-15 days at most. If the amount of vaginal bleeding exceeds the amount of menstrual blood and lasts too long, you need to seek medical treatment immediately.

6. You may experience mild lower abdominal discomfort, pain, or a small amount of vaginal bleeding on the day after abortion. If the abdominal pain is severe or the vaginal bleeding is heavy or continues for a long time, you should seek medical attention immediately.

7. Within 2 weeks after abortion, rest in bed appropriately, increase nutritious food, and avoid heavy physical work.

8. Pay attention to the cleaning of the perineum after the abortion. Do not sit in a bath or have sexual intercourse if the vaginal bleeding has not stopped.

9. If you want to resume your sexual life after an abortion, you must still take contraceptive measures.
