Hello
Thanks for your query.
Abortion laws differ from country to country.
generally, abortions are considered safe when done upto 12 weeks of pregnancy.
beyond that, they carry high risks to the mother.
Upto 7 - 9 weeks of pregnancy, medical abortion pills are quite safe and effective.
Beyond 9 weeks, surgical abortion is generally recommended.
If this is your first pregnancy, please re think, as first pregnancies, when aborted, are generally fraught with possibilities in future - such as blocked tubes, pelvic infection etc.
However, do not worry, as in case, you do choose to go for abortion,it is quite safe at 9 weeks.
All the best.
