Hi
I appreciate your concerns.
If you do not wish to continue the
pregnancy, the only option is abortion. At this early
gestational age she can take medicines to abort after consulting family physician /Gynecologist. Before starting the treatment it is important to have examination by her to make sure that the pregnancy is in the uterus and she does not have contraindications for the medications. Medicines can be used to abort baby for up to 9 weeks of pregnancy.
In
Medical abortion there are two types of medicines ( anti
progesterone and
prostaglandin) used for 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 she may have light bleeding for two weeks. Get an
ultrasound done after two weeks to make sure that the abortion process is complete.
If she has heavy bleeding (soaks 2pads/hour for more than two hours) or if the bleeding persists even after 2 weeks she must see the doctor.
To avoid such unnecessary stress I advise you to consult your doctor and start regular
contraception like hormonal contraception or have an intrauterine devise fitted as they are very effective in preventing pregnancy.
I hope I have answered to your satisfaction. If you have any further queries do contact me through healthcare magic
