Is induced abortion dangerous at eight months of pregnancy?

I believe everyone should know that induced labor is best performed in the early stages of pregnancy. The longer the time is delayed, the longer the pregnancy lasts, and the baby's body is growing. If you decide to induce labor in the middle or late stages of pregnancy, it will be very harmful to the expectant mother. Therefore, everyone should think clearly about whether to have a child as soon as possible after becoming pregnant. Do not decide not to have a child in the late stages of pregnancy. This is irresponsible to both yourself and the child. So what are the risks of induced abortion at 8 months of pregnancy?

1. Postpartum hemorrhage

During an induced abortion, the recipient may experience heavy bleeding. This is mainly caused by placenta previa or partial detachment after induced labor, uterine atony, coagulation dysfunction, etc.

2. Birth canal injury

Birth canal damage is also one of the hazards of induced labor. This is mainly because the fetus is large during induced labor, and the uterus must exert a lot of effort to expel it from the body through contraction. Once this force exceeds what the uterus can withstand, the chances of damage to the birth canal or uterus are very high.

3. Uterine infection

Induced abortion surgery may cause infection in the uterine cavity of the person undergoing the procedure, which is caused by a variety of reasons, such as incomplete disinfection of surgical instruments and improper surgical operation. At the same time, after the operation, the person undergoing induced labor will have a small amount of vaginal bleeding. At this time, care measures should be taken to prevent bacteria from entering the vagina and causing infection.

4. Amniotic fluid embolism

After a woman becomes pregnant, the cervical canal will expand more and more. The cervical opening is larger at this time, and the blood vessels are also in a relatively open state. Once strong uterine contractions occur, the intrauterine pressure of the labor induced will increase, rupturing the fetal membrane. Some of the amniotic fluid will take the opportunity to enter the dilated blood vessels, causing amniotic fluid embolism.

5. Precautions for inducing labor

First, sexual intercourse and tub bathing are prohibited for one month; second, if abdominal pain is obvious or vaginal bleeding is heavy, you must return to the hospital for a follow-up examination at any time; third, if vaginal bleeding lasts for more than 10 days, you must return to the hospital for a follow-up examination.
