Patient's question:
Female, 28 years old, originally wanted to have a child, but due to some problems at home, she is considering having an abortion. However, since she is already 14 weeks pregnant, she is asking if the chance of miscarriage at 14 weeks is high.Doctor's answer:
Hello, I am glad to explain your question. According to your description, at 14 weeks of pregnancy, it is no longer possible to have an induced abortion. The best time for an induced abortion is within 10 weeks of pregnancy. Between 10 and 14 weeks, a Dilation and Curettage (D&C) procedure is required to terminate early pregnancy. After 14 weeks, an induction abortion is the only option. Because after 14 weeks of pregnancy, the child is already largely formed. The longer a woman is pregnant, the harder the fetal bones become, and the greater the risk of an induction abortion for the woman. I suggest you have the induction abortion at a regular hospital.
