What does induced labor mean?

Women who have undergone induced abortion should find it difficult to forget the pain it brought to their bodies. Compared with abortion, induced abortion is mainly performed on women who are in a relatively advanced stage of pregnancy, because at this time the baby has already taken shape in the woman's belly, and only induced abortion can make the baby come out. Women who want to undergo induced abortion should also learn some relevant knowledge about induced abortion.

What does induced abortion mean?

After understanding the relevant knowledge of induced abortion and the various examinations that need to be conducted, it is necessary to understand the process of induced abortion. So what is the process of induced abortion?

1. Before inducing labor, a systematic examination should be conducted, including necessary examinations such as liver and kidney function, urine routine, and AIDS. If the examination is qualified, hospitalization is required for induced labor.

2. Induction of labor

Step one: medical induction of labor. After all the pre-labor induction examinations are clear, formal labor induction will begin. Drugs need to be taken before formal labor induction in order to cause the fetus to die in the womb and be delivered in advance.

Step 2: Delivery of the fetus. Pregnant women will feel uterine contractions within 24-72 hours after taking the medicine. When uterine contractions are frequent and regular, it is a sign that the fetus is about to be delivered. At this time, the doctor will check whether the amniotic fluid has broken. If so, the baby will be immediately sent to the operating room to be taken out of the body.

Step 3: After induced abortion. After the fetus is delivered smoothly, the pregnant woman needs to stay in the rest room for one to two hours to observe the amount of bleeding. This is to prevent heavy bleeding and other complications in pregnant women.

3. During the recovery period after induced abortion, you must pay attention to rest and strengthen nutrition; pay attention to the contraction of the uterus, the amount of bleeding, whether there is a fever, etc. If any abnormality is found, you should go to the hospital for relevant examinations in time.
