When a woman accidentally becomes pregnant, she may want to terminate the pregnancy. During the pregnancy, due to certain reasons (such as herself or the embryo), the woman may not be able to continue the pregnancy and needs to terminate the pregnancy immediately. Recently, there has been a woman who is 14 weeks pregnant and cannot continue the pregnancy. I would like to know what procedures are required for a 14 week abortion?
Generally speaking, termination of pregnancy can be achieved through induced abortion (medical abortion or surgical abortion) within 12 weeks, and there is no need to go through any procedures for termination of pregnancy within 12 weeks. However, after 12 weeks of pregnancy, if a woman wants to terminate her pregnancy, she needs to go through procedures.
The reason for the need to handle procedures is that after 12 weeks of pregnancy, induced abortion cannot be used again. Instead, the pregnancy should be terminated by induced labor. Women who need induced labor need to go to the family planning management department in their place of residence to explain the reason for terminating the pregnancy and obtain an induced labor certificate.
Generally, doctors can only perform induced abortion surgery after seeing the induced abortion certificate, which is also one of the reimbursement criteria for women's medical insurance and maternity insurance. According to the specific gestational age at the time of induced abortion, it can be divided into mid-term pregnancy induced abortion (14 to 28 weeks of pregnancy) and late pregnancy induced abortion (after 28 weeks of pregnancy).
