Hi
If you do not wish to keep this pregnancy, consult family physician/Gynecologist to abort the baby.
There are two options to abort.
1. Medical abortion where two types of medicines ( anti progesterone and prostaglandin) are given to you for abortion. Your doctor will examine and assess and if there are no contraindications she will advise you to go with medical abortion. Medical abortion is about 95% effective. Most women ( 80%) abort within 24 hours of taking the second pill. Some take little longer. After aborting the pregnancy you may have light bleeding for two weeks. Get an ultrasound done after two weeks to make sure that the abortion process is complete.
2. If you have contraindications to medical abortion (medical diseases like addisons disease, etc) then she will advise a minor surgery to abort the baby.
If you do not want to have babies at present I advise you to discuss with your doctor and start regular contraception like hormonal contraception or intrauterine devise as they are very effective in preventing pregnancy. You should also use condoms to protect yourself from sexually transmitted diseases
I hope I have answered to your satisfaction. If you have any further queries do contact me through healthcare magic
