Patient's question:
I am eighteen years old this year. Due to an accident and unforeseen circumstances, I accidentally got pregnant. Because I didn't understand, I never went to the hospital for a check-up. In mid-last month, I went to the hospital for an ultrasound. The doctor told me that I was already more than eight months pregnant. Since I am not married, I don't want the child. But the doctor said that I need to have an abortion. I want to ask, do I need to be hospitalized for an abortion?After the abortion, do I have to take the child away myself? Can I be spared from seeing the baby's body? Although he is my flesh and blood, I am afraid of seeing him and being heartbroken.
Doctor's answer:
Generally, in the eighth month of pregnancy, undergoing an abortion carries certain risks. After the procedure, women should pay attention to recovery and should consume nutrient-rich, easily digestible foods such as eggs, milk, ribs, chicken, and fish. Cold water should be avoided. Extra attention should be paid to hygiene, and underwear and pants should be changed frequently. Women who have not yet experienced a complete bleeding should absolutely avoid vaginal douching and soaking in baths.
