Abortion at 7 or 8 weeks?

I know this may seem insensitive to a lot of people and I apologise in advance but I really need to know what is involved in an early abortion before about 10 weeks. Do they have to operate or is there some other method.

You can take a pill that will cause you to miscarry "naturally" up to the ninth week of pregnancy. After that the other first tri-mester option is vacuum aspiration, in which the contents of your uterus are emptied.

I highly recommend that you look at this chart, as it will help you make a decision about your options (also look at the other pages for more info too), and I suggest that you make an appointment with a Planned Parenthood associate to discuss your options in person, or at another clinic that offers similar services:

The chart/Planned Parenthood website: http://www.plannedparenthood.org/birth-c...

they use the vacuum method

There is a pill they can give you, besides he other methods you mentioned.

its mostly the D&C. dilatation and curettage... they scrape the endometrium (the lining of the uterus).

I'm pretty sure you may be right at the cut-off line for the 'abortion pill'. Go in to the clinic at your appointment time and request information on this. They will perform an ultrasound to make sure you are at the right time for the pill. If not, or if the pill fails, you will need to come in for a surgical abortion.

In advance, don't listen to those who are offended by an abortion. It is your choice, your body, your right, and in a question and answer center, it is no place for personal opinion, but only professional fact.

special surgical knife like tool inserted, slicing up the foetus/zygote, vacuuming out the bloody fluid. the other methods use similar logic...

the earlier u abort, the less complications>>> anyway its just extremely bad for health.

they tend only to operate at the later stage of ur pregnancy they will proib just give u a pill to have an unatural miscarriage

they give u a pill

I think that after 8 weeks it is the operation (only minor in and out in a day) before 8 weeks you can take a pill although be very careful with dates when using that method because my m8 was told she was less than 8wks and had it, she ended up in hospital for a week with infection because it didnt all come away.
I would suggest talking to a doctor he will give clearer answers.

You can do the abortion by medication up until something like 60 days into pregnancy where they give you a pill that basically causes miscarriage. You also have the option of doing vacuum aspiration which is what they use in abortions when the mother is further along.

Pretty sure its an operation...nothing to be scared of though.

With todays technology..who knows they may have a invented a pill.

Before you kill your baby, please do an internet search for "photos of abortions". You need to see first hand the brutality involved. It's not just a "operation." It's a murder because the little being you're carrying is tiny but if left alone, will become a person. It's no different than taking a gun and shooting someone. The methods they use for abortions are brutal even though the Doctor's will try to downplay this. One method is a curetage. A metal device with a loop at the end of it is put into the uterus and the baby is scraped away from your uterine lining. But it usually cuts the baby up in pieces during the process. Another method is to give you medication so you'll spontaneously abort. Another method is vacuuming the baby out through suction, which also can rip it apart during the process. Another is an injection into the uterus of acid to desolve the baby. Please search the internet so you can find out more about these and see photos of each. Please consider another alternative. There are so many fine people out there who can't have children and they'd love to raise your child. There are people who will pay your hospital bill to have your baby and will give you an additional amount so they raise your child. It's such a wonderful gift you could give to a childless couple. Or, you could ask a relative to raise the baby if you're unable to do so. Please consider getting counseling for this and explore all of your options before deciding. Some women are haunted for the rest of their lives after getting an abortion, coming to the realization they have killed their child. God will hold you accountable for it. So please think it over, I hope you'll make the compassionate choice.

Gayle, I couldn't have said it better myself. But I'm just going to repeat what you said and encourage the asker to look up pictures of what happens in abortion. And then think, do you really, truly want to do that to a child? An innocent child?

If you are under 3 months you can opt for the method where the foetus is 'sucked' out, this can be done under a local anaesthetic (depending on how close to the 3 month you are) or, more commonly, under a general anaesthetic. Another common method is to take two tablets which brings on a miscarriage. This is the method that is also used after 3 months, although the further on you are the more complicated the miscarriage will be. If you're around 10 weeks and are considering an abortion you need to get it sorted quickly as it can take over a month to get the final appointment and it is advisable to have terminations before the 3 month mark, for many reasons, including your lack of choices and the fact that the foetus is much more developed.

Medical abortion (known as 'the abortion pill')
Medical abortion can be performed in the first 9 weeks of pregnancy. It does not involve any surgery. The woman is given a pill (mifepristone) and 36 to 48 hours later, a tablet (prostaglandin) is placed in her vagina. These two drugs end most early pregnancies within the following four hours. It feels like having a heavy and rather painful period

dont get it your killing! put it up for adoption if you dont want the kid

they do some vacuum procedure. and i dont know your situation, but i just want to let you know that having an abortion is a BIG deal. and i am not trying to be mean, its just you should know what you are getting into. there is a human inside you. because its growing inside a womb it is a mammal and since it depends on you to give it food, it is a consumer. all humans are those two things. it is growing human body parts inside a human womb. a lot of women go through depression and sometimes psychosis because they feel so bad that they had an abortion. also, i recommend that you go for an ultrasound first so that you can see exactly what you are killing. good luck.

they tend to give you medication normally tablets then you go home and lose it failing that its a D & C simple procedure normally in and out for this

i can appreciate that everyones got an opinion on abortion, But at the end of the day the asker was asking about the method of termination NOT the ethics or morality of it,and it's probably the last thing that they need to hear.

The baby is sucked out,limb by limb,by a vacuum.

You go to clinic and they give you an appointment to see a councillor to make sure it is what you want. They then make an appointment for the clinic to have it done. You will have a a scan to find out how far you have gone then a chat with doctor to see if it is what you want and also to talk about what will happen.
By the time you get this far it will be a light general anasthetic and a vacum will be used. The whole process for operation will be just 10 mins and clinic stay four to five hours. You will need someone to fetch you and need to rest for the rest of the day.
Sorry it is not more straight forward but if in UK and under 25 go to nearest Brook Advise centre they are exellent caring, understanding, none judgemental and put you the right direction.
Not an easy choice had two friends who have gone through this a few years ago.
One never regretted what she did other has so my advise just think long and hard is it what you want and you will be ok.

They will insert pills into your vagina,then at a later stage,you will start getting cramps,as if you're going into labour,even your waters break,if you get to the hospital in time,you will go thru the "giving-birth" process,only difference is that you Will have a miscarriage,the baby will come out dead,as the pills slowly kill the baby inside you.Easy process,but you live with the guilt ALL YOUR LIFE!!!!

yes this does seem insensitive and dont apologize to me apologize to the baby you are murdering. People who say its your body are complete idiots its not your body its another human beings body! its NOT your choice to kill another human being that's gods work. You should be happy you are blessed to have a child, because some people cant do that. Put it up for adoption, i know many people who have adopted and i am thinking about adopting one day too. that's way better than taking a child's life.please reconsider your choice, because you ll regret what you have done when you get a little older and more mature. My friend cries every day of her life from her mistake 4 years ago.dont be blinded by the cover up"its my body"if this was true why do girls who smoke ,drink and do drugs when they are pregnant get criticized?what if they said well its my body?would it then be considered alright?

They will perform a D & C. Talkk to your GP or family planning clinic for extra help and support. They will talk to you about the process and give you as much info as you want. It is a regular, effective procedure. Im not sure if you'd be under aneasthetic or not I'm afraid, but like I said medical practioners will have all the answers you need. Remember they're there to help you, not judge you, we all should be.

I pass you my support at this time & wish you well.

have you and your partner never heard of condoms?and what about the rights of this beings/babys body-(thats to those air heads who wrongly insist its your body).have second thoughts or you are bound to feel guilty at a later stage-killing is killing,even with the help of medical 'experts'.

they did used to just do a DNC which does not take long and just scrapes out the lining of the uterus.
