Patient's question:
I am 29 weeks pregnant. Yesterday, my husband had his friend take a few photos for me, and it's a girl. But my husband is not happy because he wants a son since we already have a daughter. I have chosen to have an abortion. Do you experience pain during an abortion?Doctor's answer:
The process of induced labor is relatively painful compared to a normal vaginal delivery. Before undergoing induced labor, you may need to be hospitalized first. The doctor will administer some medications to enhance uterine contractions, such as mifepristone or oxytocin. Only when the uterus undergoes regular contractions can the cervix dilate fully, allowing the fetus to rise. These regular uterine contractions cause pain. If the baby is doing well, I suggest you avoid induced labor because, after all, it is a life.
