How Can Unwanted Pregnancy Be Terminated?
Hi. I am 25yrs old, married, 5weeks pregnant now and reside in UAE. I already have a 1yr old baby and this pregnancy was totally unexpected. Me and my husband are not in a state to have a second baby and are thinking about abortion. Please provide details about this procedure like duration, complications, cost, etc. We are planning to come to Kerala next week for a day. Will the procedure be over in a day.

Hi,
Termination of pregnancy at 5 weeks is generally not a big deal. This may be done with few tablets given once, sometimes repeated which causes the abortion. Mostly it can be done as a day case but need monitoring. Make sure it is done in a specialist center to avoid any complication.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
