Some times when a young woman takes action to end a pregnancy before a baby is fully enough formed to survive, this is called an abortion.
A times we use the word' abortion' only when the action is planned. The unplanned, natural loss if an unborn child we call a 'miscarriage'.
Deciding whether or not to have an abortion can be difficult. In making a decision, most women will benefit from warm, respectful advice and friendly support.
When abortions are done under sterile conditions in a hospital or clinic by a trained medical worker, they are usually safe for the woman.
Abortions are safest when done in early pregnancy. But when abortions are done at home, by untrained persons or in unclean conditions, they can be extremely dangerous.
In places where abortions are illegal or difficult to get, these ' home ' abortions are often a major cause of death for women between the age of 12 and 50.
Methods for ending a pregnancy such as putting sticks or other hard objects into the vagina or womb, squeezing the womb, or using modern drugs or plant medicines can cause severe bleeding, infection, and death.
Danger signs following an abortion are:
-pain in the belly
-fever
- heavy bleeding from the vagina
If you see these signs in a woman who may have been pregnant,they could be the result of an abortion. But they could also be signs of miscarriage , out of - place pregnancy, or pelvic inflammatory disease .
Some women with problems following an abortion go for medical help, but are afraid or ashamed to tell what really happened. Others may be too afraid or embarrassed even to seek medical help, especially if the abortion was secret or illegal
They may wait until they are very sick. This delay could be fatal.
Heavy bleeding (more than with a normal period) or infection following an abortion is dangerous.
Please any time you notice all these make sure that you get medical help right away.
