I am 27. Can I take a pill to end my second pregnancy?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am 27 years old. I have a 5 months baby (cesarean). The baby and I are fine. From day one, he is fit. There is no health issues since his birth. And I did not have any health issues after delivery of our first baby. I got pregnant again, and it has been a month now.

Please suggest a way to abort.

Please help me if a pill can abort this time.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

From the information you have provided, it looks like you have an unplanned pregnancy.

I am not sure about the reason why you do not want to continue the pregnancy. Even though spacing pregnancies is advisable, it is not a hard and fast rule. You can continue this pregnancy safely if you have planned for two children. If you have a good support system, you can take care of your first kid and also take care of this pregnancy.

In the event of not continuing the pregnancy, there are medical and surgical options to end the pregnancy. But you need to see a doctor, have a scan, and then the doctor will suggest the best method for you. Taking over the counter medication (OTC) from a medical store may not be safe for you. Please give a serious thought about following a reliable method of birth control to avoid this situation in the future.

All the best, Hope I have cleared your doubts!

Thank you.
