Patient's question:
I had an abortion in November and got pregnant again in January. I'm worried about the child and care about what kind of help: I want to know if I can keep the baby.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, it is best to wait for at least one year after an induced abortion before trying to conceive again. In the case of special circumstances, it is still recommended to wait for at least a year. This is because all types of induced abortions involve procedures such as aspiration or scraping to completely remove the embryonic tissue from the uterine cavity. During the surgery, the endometrium may be damaged to varying degrees, and a thorough recovery process is necessary after the procedure. If pregnancy occurs too soon, the endometrium may not have fully healed, making it difficult to maintain implantation and development of the fertilized egg, which can lead to miscarriage.
