Can I have medical abortion at 20 weeks?

When a woman finds out that she is 20 weeks pregnant, she cannot choose to have an abortion with medicine. Because the best time for medical abortion is within 50 days after pregnancy. If you don’t want the baby after 20 weeks of pregnancy, you can have an artificial abortion. Please note that you should rest and recuperate your body in time after having an abortion, otherwise it will damage your health.

Some people don't want a baby after they get pregnant. In my opinion, this is a bad idea. You finally get pregnant but you don't want it anymore. If this is your last pregnancy, would you do it again? Unless you encounter an unavoidable disease, I think aborting the child is inappropriate. So, can I have a medical abortion at 12 weeks of pregnancy? It is definitely not possible to have a medical abortion at this time.

Medical abortion is the process of aborting a baby by taking medicine. The best time for medical abortion is as long as the pregnancy is less than 49 days and it is confirmed to be intrauterine. Medical abortion can be performed. Close observation should be performed after taking the medicine. If the pregnancy fails, timely surgery should be performed to terminate the pregnancy. But be sure to use it under the guidance of a local doctor.

The best time to induce abortion with medication is within 49 days after pregnancy, and avoid exceeding 3 months. If it exceeds 3 months, the fetus will have already formed and grown too large, and induced labor is the only option.

Therefore, medical abortion is not possible at 12 weeks.

Precautions after medical abortion

1. After taking the medicine for medical abortion, if there is vaginal bleeding, continue to take the medicine and do not stop taking it. Use a spittoon for urination and defecation, and pay attention to whether there is any tissue discharged. If you have any, you need to see a doctor for examination. If vaginal bleeding is more than twice the amount of menstrual flow, you should seek medical attention immediately and be closely observed, and the obstetrician and gynecologist will handle it as appropriate.

2. Some pregnant women experience mild nausea, vomiting, dizziness, fatigue, lower abdominal pain and other discomforts after taking medication for medical abortion. Some may also develop a rash, but generally no treatment is required.

3. At 8 a.m. on the fourth day, come to the hospital on an empty stomach or 2 hours after a meal and take 0.6 g (3 tablets) of rice essence orally with warm water (not exceeding 30°C), rest in bed for 2 hours, and be observed in the outpatient clinic for 6 hours. Pay attention to whether there is any discharge of pregnancy products after taking the medicine, bleeding and its side effects.

The time for medical abortion should be in the early stages of pregnancy, and it can be done within one month. After this time, when the embryo has developed to a larger size, artificial abortion is the only option. No matter which type of abortion is used, it will have an impact on women's fertility. Don't be foolish to have an abortion, you will regret it later.
