Brief Answer:
Termination of pregnancy is not likely.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
At 20 weeks of pregnancy, even if you wish to terminate the pregnancy your doctor may not agree if the baby is normal. You can discuss regarding this option but the placenta is firmly attached at 20 weeks also and may need a surgery to remove it.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
