Patient's question:
You are already eight months pregnant, but now you've discovered that your husband is having an affair, so you want to get an abortion. In this situation, can you have an abortion?Doctor's answer:
Pregnant for 8 months but still do not want this child. Considering the child's advanced gestational age, an induction abortion had to be performed. Generally, the risk of induction abortion is higher than that of an abortion. If induction abortion has been chosen, it should be performed as soon as possible. At 8 months pregnant, the placenta has already formed, and fetal bones have hardened. Delivery requires a fully dilated cervix. Additionally, due to the uterus expanding and the uterine wall becoming engorged with blood, the surgery is more prone to injuring the uterus. Therefore, mid-trimester induction abortion is more difficult and has a higher risk of complications than early artificial abortion. You should go to a larger, reputable hospital where treatment measures are more comprehensive.
