Hallow Dear,

It is a misconception that Raw or Green Papaya or Pineapple are abortifacient fruits. They are not. Some times, Raw Papaya being difficult to digest may cause indigestion leading to pain in abdomen.

In fact Ripe Papaya and Pineapple are good fruits which provide good amount of micronutrients and help digestion also. Hence we do advise pregnant women to eat them in good amount.

For termination of pregnancy, you may take Tab. Mifepristone followed after 24-48 hours by Tab. Misoprostol. These medicines are prescription medicines and should be taken by Obstetricians prescription and under observation. Usually the abortion takes place within 3 days. The completeness of abortion may be confirmed by ultrasonography.

These medicines cause developmental abnormalities in the baby. Hence, if they fail to terminate the pregnancy, the decision should not be reverted to continuation of pregnancy; termination should be undertaken by surgical methods like MVA aspiration or so.

Please do not attempt abortion in a country where it is not legalised. You will have to go to some place like India or Japan, where it is legalized.

I hope this helps you.
