Brief Answer:
Relatively safe procedure

Hi dear, surgical procedure of abortion is safe if done by a trained gynecologist.
Very rare complications are post abortal infection, excessive bleeding and very very rare uterine perforation. But these are extremely rare if the procedure is done by an expert.
You both should plan next pregnancy at least after6 months of abortion, and there are fair chances of conceiving in future.
