Late Term Abortion and Its Options


As one of the only states with the fewest restrictions on abortions, women considering a late term abortion Albuquerque should know all of the options available to them prior to making a decision.  CareNet Pregnancy Centers of Albuquerque has created this informative guide to help women understand their late term abortion options.

What is a late term abortion?
A late-term abortion is a termination of the fetus during an advanced stage of pregnancy. These abortions occur after the 12th week of gestation or at any time during the 3rd trimester.

Why would women get a late term abortion?
Those considering a late-term abortion may do so for a variety of reasons. Some may choose to abort their pregnancy because they were not able to come to this decision earlier in their first or second trimesters. However, many women undergo this procedure because there is a medical condition or occurrence that puts the mother, fetus or both at risk.

What options are available for late-term abortions?
There are two methods which can be used to abort a fetus during their pregnancy. The first is referred to as “dilation and evacuation”. During this procedure, the doctor dilates the woman, removes small tissue in the uterus with a vacuum, removes larger tissues in the uterus with forceps, and uses suction to remove all remaining contents. The “induction” method uses a needle to deliver a medication into the uterus to induce contractions. This causes the body to go into labor and push out the fetus.

What are the complications of a late-term abortion?
All medical procedures carry an inherent risk of complication during and after the event. Many late term abortion procedures do not cause significant complications for most women. Those that do face complications may have symptoms such as bleeding, cramping or nausea. Other minor complications such as hemorrhage or uterine atony are rare; major complications like hospitalization or death are extremely rare.
