Being pregnant for over 20 weeks is equivalent to over 5 months, which also means that the baby in the belly has already taken on a human form. Can painless abortion be performed after 20 weeks of pregnancy?
I am already 20 weeks pregnant. If there are no other circumstances, it is recommended to continue the pregnancy. There are risks associated with miscarriage, such as uterine rupture, amniotic fluid embolism, etc.
If using rivanol for induced abortion, the fetus is usually expelled from the body about 40 hours after needle insertion.
The painless induction process in the 20th week of pregnancy is:
1. Painless prenatal examination. There are mainly vaginal secretion tests, urine and kidney function tests, and ultrasound examinations to determine the position of the placenta. Painless induction of labor can only be performed after passing the examination, and it is best to stay in the hospital for observation, so that unexpected situations can be remedied in a timely manner.
2. Operation phase. Painless drainage is achieved by injecting a needle into the amniotic cavity through the mother's abdomen to induce uterine contractions and expel the fetus. After the surgery, dry the blood on the external genitalia and return to the ward to rest. It is recommended to stay in the hospital for observation for a few days, and then go home to rest after the situation stabilizes.
3. Postoperative recovery period. Because induced abortion poses a great threat to women's health, it is important to rest, strengthen nutrition, and enhance immunity during the postoperative recovery period. In addition, if any abnormalities are found, such as fever, excessive bleeding, or prolonged bleeding, it is necessary to promptly go to the hospital for relevant tests, identify the factors, and use corresponding preventive measures.
