Can a fetus at 33 weeks of pregnancy undergo induction?

Patient's question:

What should I do if I get pregnant unexpectedly? The harm is relatively small. Can I have an abortion if I am 33 weeks pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

Medication abortion within 45 days, surgical abortion within 60 days, Dilation and Curettage (D&C) within 100 days, Induction abortion within 6 months
Medication abortion (using Mifepristone and Misoprostol). However, it may fail, requiring a follow-up D&C. If there is a significant amount of residual tissue in the uterus, a D&C is necessary. In fact, under normal circumstances, any form of abortion can cause certain damage to the pregnant woman. Therefore, patients should pay attention to self-care. Patients undergoing abortion should focus on self-care, such as proper dietary regulation and maintaining warmth to avoid catching a cold.
