Hello and welcome to health care magic,
I am Dr Nilajkumar a consultant gynecologist and I will be helping you in your queries.
Your position is indeed difficult. However it seems from your history that you are more than 8-9 weeks pregnant. There are two ways to procure an abortion, the first is by taking tablets and second by a surgical procedure. But before that it is important to confirm
pregnancy. Also a gynec examination is important as sometimes the pregnancy occurs in tubes and if abortificient drugs are used in such situation they can endanger life.
Also it is my duty to inform you that abortion is not a simple procedure.
Medical abortion with drugs may sometimes remain incomplete and need a surgical evacuation. Life threatening bleeding and infections are also possible if it is not done properly. Hence please get it done from a registered medical practitioner and not by some house hold method or some untrained quack. Please think about your son, as you are the most important person in his life now. So your safety is utmost importance.
Medical abortion can be done upto 9 weeks and surgical upto 12 weeks but the earlier the better in both cases.
I suggest that you take help from some social organisation in your area or some near and dear relative or your boy friend to help you in this matter. Please do not hesitate to ask for help as many times it is easier to get help than what we anticipate.
Please think about these issues and then decide.
Thanks for using HCM.
Have a good day.
Dr Nilajkumar Bagde
