Patient's question:
I am 44 years old and my boyfriend is 23. I am currently 7 months pregnant, but he doesn't want the child yet. He says we haven't gotten married yet and wants to have an abortion. My boyfriend claims he is only 23 and wants to have a child in two years when he is more prepared. My peers all have children, and I am getting older, making it harder to get pregnant in the future. We have argued many times about this. Can this child be aborted?Doctor's answer:
You are 44 years old and a high-risk pregnant woman. It has already been very difficult for you to get pregnant this time. If you consider getting pregnant again in two years, you may not be able to get pregnant then. This is because women may enter menopause after the age of 45, and the chances of getting pregnant at that time are very low. Even if you do get pregnant, the risk of miscarriage is very high. Your boyfriend is 23 years old and relatively young. He can indeed wait two more years to have a child. You need to have a good discussion with him about this matter and explain your actual situation. If you have an abortion this time, there is no going back.
