"How long into pregnancy does a D&C require a Cesarean section? I am almost six months pregnant, and due to many reasons, I do not want this child, so I want to have an abortion. But I heard that some abortions require a Cesarean section. How long into pregnancy does an abortion need a Cesarean section?"

Doctor's answer:

Women may need an induced abortion due to repeated problems during pregnancy. If the gestational age is too large, a cesarean section may be required. Generally, at seven to eight months of gestation, an induced abortion would necessitate a cesarean section. If your current gestational age for the induced abortion is not too large, a cesarean section is usually not needed, and it is similar to normal labor. It is recommended to have the induced abortion at a regular hospital. After the procedure, proper recovery for one month is advised to ensure the uterus fully recovers.
