Patient's question:
What should I do if I get pregnant unexpectedly? The harm is relatively small. How long does an abortion usually require hospitalization?Doctor's answer:
You are now six months pregnant, and at this stage, the fetus has grown and developed significantly. If you decide not to have the child, you will need to be hospitalized for an induced abortion procedure. Generally, the hospital stay for an induced abortion should be at least four days. This is because you will need anesthesia for the induction of labor, and after the anesthesia, it will take at least 24 hours for contractions to begin. At this stage, it is usually necessary to maintain contractions for at least 24 hours before labor starts. After labor begins, you will still need to be hospitalized for close observation for 1 to 2 days, and if necessary, a uterine evacuation may be required.
