Patient's question:
I am 18 years old and have not been married. I have unexpectedly become pregnant. Due to some kind of fear, I have been hesitant to go to the hospital for a check-up. In mid-last month, I went to the hospital for an ultrasound. The doctor said I was probably about eight and a half months pregnant. Now I don’t want the child, but I’m afraid of having to undergo an abortion as the doctor suggested. Could you please advise if there are any other better ways to handle this?Urgent reply!!! First follow-up question: Isn’t it enough to have an unmarried certificate if you are not married?
Doctor's answer:
Hello: There is no solution to your situation. However, according to national regulations, if you are considering an abortion, parental consent is still required. But the prerequisite is to have a diagnostic certificate, as the child must be aborted due to certain reasons, such as abnormalities, for consideration. Otherwise, no legitimate hospital will perform an abortion.
