Can you have medication abortion at 12 weeks of pregnancy?

Patient's question:

At 12 weeks pregnant, but the ultrasound report states the fetus's size is equivalent to 11 weeks. I'm not planning to keep it because I already have two other children, both born via normal delivery. I want to ask if it's still possible to choose medication abortion if I decide to.

Doctor's answer:

Medication abortion is only suitable for early pregnancy within 49 days. You are currently 11 weeks pregnant. At this stage, the embryo has begun to take on a human shape. Medication abortion is not an option for you. In your case, you will need to undergo a late-term forceps procedure. It is recommended that you go to a regular hospital's gynecology and obstetrics department for hospitalization and surgery as soon as possible. The above is the advice for the question "Can I have a medication abortion at 12 weeks if I don't want the pregnancy?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
