Patient's question:
I am more than ten months pregnant. The day before yesterday, I had a low fever that didn't go away, and then I received two days of intravenous fluids and took many medications. I am worried that my sadness will affect the baby's health, so I don't want this child. I want to have an abortion. Hello, can I still have an abortion at ten weeks and three days pregnant?Doctor's answer:
I'm pregnant and have taken many medications. I don't plan to keep this child. At ten weeks pregnant, it would be around seventy days, and usually, it's not possible to have an abortion at this stage. Therefore, I have to undergo an induction of labor. After the procedure, you can take oral herbal medicines to replenish qi and nourish blood. Rest well, engage in minimal exercise, pay attention to your diet, drink plenty of water, and eat easily digestible foods. Avoid foods with strong, as well as cold, hard, and spicy foods. Pay attention to hygiene—wash the external genital area daily and soak your feet in warm water every night.
