Hi
I understand your concerns.
There are medicines (medical abortion) available which can bring about abortion in pregnancy less than 9 weeks.
If you wish to abort the pregnancy, your wife should first consult family physician /Gynecologist. Before the treatment it is important to have examination by her to make sure that the pregnancy is in the uterus and you do not have contraindications for the medications
In Medical abortion there are two types of medicines ( anti progesterone and prostaglandin) used for abortion. Medical abortion is about 95% effective. Most women ( 80%) abort within 24 hours of taking the second pill. Some take little longer. After aborting the pregnancy she may have light bleeding for two weeks. Get an ultrasound done after two weeks to make sure that the abortion process is complete.
If she has heavy bleeding (soaks 2pads/hour for more than two hours) or if the bleeding persists even after 2 weeks she must see the doctor.
If you are not prepared for baby now, to avoid such unnecessary stress, I advise your wife to consult her doctor and start regular contraception like hormonal contraception or intrauterine devise as they are very effective in preventing pregnancy.
I hope I have answered to your satisfaction. If you have any further queries do contact me through healthcare magic
