Yesterday my wife had gone for a checkup to doctor s clinic because from 5-7 days she is having stomach ache and doctors had said that my wife got pregnant. Actually we both are not ready for having a child right now because of some reasons.Whats the best way & 100% assured way for not having this child?

If your wife does not want to continue the pregnancy, she needs to be seen for evaluation of a therapeutic abortion. Many clinics will not do this and it may take some digging to find a place that will do it electively. The most effective way is to have a dilation and curettage. This a procedure that your wife will have to be put to sleep for, her cervix is dilated with metal instruments, and then her uterus is scraped out with different instruments. This is the most reliable method. Please make sure that your wife goes to a facility that is safe. If done incorrectly, your wife's life could be at risk from bleeding or infection. Another way to abort a pregnancy is with medication that needs to be prescribed. If she elects this method, she will need more monitoring a couple more appointments to make sure the pregnancy has been cleared. Before you and your wife go through with this, please make sure you are 100% sure you want to terminate the pregnancy. Good luck and be safe.
