How long does it take to abort a baby during pregnancy?

In real life, many people need to terminate the pregnancy when they are not ready for pregnancy or their bodies are not in a condition to conceive. However, the timing of abortion also depends on the time. It is not suitable to abort the baby in the early stages of pregnancy. It is better to terminate the pregnancy by medical abortion or artificial abortion at 35 or 49 days of pregnancy.

How long does it take to abort a baby during pregnancy?

How long after pregnancy you can wait before having an abortion depends mainly on how the pregnancy is terminated. If you choose medical abortion, you can have it between 35-49 days of pregnancy. If you want to have an abortion, you can do it between 5-8 weeks of pregnancy, either painful or painless. If the pregnancy is more than 9 weeks, medical abortion plus uterine curettage is required, which means hospitalization is required. Misoprostol will be inserted into the vagina for about 24 hours to expel the products of pregnancy, and then a painless uterine curettage will be performed. If the pregnancy exceeds 12 weeks, the only option clinically is induced abortion.

Generally, if the pregnancy is within 40 days, abortion can be induced by medication, and if the pregnancy is within three months, induced labor can be induced by uterine curettage.

If the child is older, there will be certain risks in inducing labor.

Suggested actions

1. The younger the child, the less harm it will cause to the body. If you don’t want the child, you must take contraceptive measures.

2. However, even if you want to have a medical abortion within 40 days, you must also confirm through B-ultrasound that the embryo is implanted in the uterus. If the B-ultrasound does not detect a gestational sac in the uterus, you cannot have a medical abortion.

Generally, the best time to have an abortion is about 49 days after menstruation. If the pregnancy lasts more than 70 days, the gestational sac is larger, the uterus becomes larger, and the uterine wall becomes thinner. If an abortion is performed at this time, the amount of bleeding will be relatively large, and it will cause greater damage to the female body.

If the fetus is relatively large and requires hospitalization for induced abortion, it is recommended to go to a professional and regular hospital for the operation. Do not eat irritating foods, such as chili peppers and alcohol, as these foods can stimulate organ bleeding and increase vaginal bleeding. In addition, ensure adequate iron supplementation to prevent anemia after miscarriage, and prohibit sexual intercourse within one month.
