Hello,

The upper time limit for abortion is legally determined and in most of the countries, medical abortion can be done up to 26 weeks. However the risk is more after 20 weeks.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
