Pregnancy is something that many couples who want to have a baby hope for, but due to the complexity and greatness of nurturing a life, many people are very cautious after pregnancy, just to give the fetus a good growth space. However, not everyone can achieve their wish, and some people may even have to give up due to various reasons causing abnormal fetal development when they are four months pregnant. So, what if the pregnancy can be aborted at four months pregnant? Let's take a closer look together.
Can I have an abortion at four months pregnant
At four months of pregnancy, the mother usually gives birth to the fetus at around 16-18 weeks. At this time, the fetus is relatively large, and hospitals usually use induced abortion to terminate the pregnancy. This surgery is painful and causes significant harm to the body. At this time, the placenta has already formed, the fetus is large, and the bones have become hard. When delivering, the cervix needs to be fully dilated. After successful induced abortion, it is usually necessary to stay in the hospital for 3 days for observation. If there are no abnormal conditions, the patient can be discharged after 3 days. After induced abortion, the patient should rest for at least one month to avoid fatigue.
How to maintain the fetus after abortion at four months of pregnancy
1. After induced abortion, it is important to constantly monitor the contraction of the uterus, the amount of bleeding, and whether there is a fever. If excessive bleeding or infection is detected, active treatment should be sought.
2. Pay attention to external genital hygiene and prohibit sexual activity within one month after induced abortion. After one month, go to the hospital for a follow-up examination to observe the recovery of the uterus.
3. According to the process of induced labor, appropriate use of uterine contraction drugs and antibiotics can promote uterine involution, reduce bleeding, and prevent infection.
4. After resting for one month, if no abnormalities are found, work can be resumed, but at the same time, effective contraception should be taken into account in daily life.
In modern medicine, it is not recommended to abort the fetus if there are no abnormal conditions at four months of pregnancy, which is what we call induced abortion. Induced abortion not only poses great harm to women's physical health, but also makes it difficult to ensure the normal development of the fetus during the subsequent pregnancy process. Therefore, if you are not ready to conceive, you must take contraceptive measures. Once pregnancy is detected, you should make a choice around eight weeks of pregnancy to avoid affecting your health.
