Patient's question:
Can a woman who is six months pregnant and breastfeeding undergo medication abortion? Can she still breastfeed her child after the medication abortion?Doctor's answer:
If you accidentally get pregnant with a child you don't want, you can wait until about 40 days after your period to go to the hospital for a check-up to rule out ectopic pregnancy. After that, you can decide whether to have an abortion or take medication. If you choose medication abortion, it won't interfere with the baby nursing.It is recommended to rest appropriately after the surgery and enhance your nutrition. If you don't plan to get pregnant, you should take proper contraceptive measures to prevent accidental pregnancy. Frequent unintended pregnancies can be harmful to your body and the endometrium. Condoms, breastfeeding, or contraception after your period is clean are safer options.
