medication for abortion?

Question

I've heard there is medication you can take in early pregnancy that makes you have a miscarrige. Does anyone know more about this? Please. I'm desperate. I heard its the alternative to surgical abortion. Please help.

Answer 1

PLEASE do not kill your baby! There are hundreds of thousands of couples who can't have children who are on a waiting list to adopt. Finding a home for your baby would not be hard.


Adoption vs. Abortion vs. ParentingYour Life. Your Baby. Your Choice.
For some women who are considering an alternative to parenting, this may be the first big decision they'll ever make. For others, making decisions independently is nothing new.

No matter how vast your decision-making experience, choosing your baby's best future is one of the biggest, most profound decisions you will ever make. Your emotional vulnerability will likely be at an all-time high, not only because of the mega-dose of hormones being pumped through your body, but obviously, you are now responsible for the future of another human's life.

No matter how complex or unique your own situation - everyone has a completely different pregnancy experience - when all is stripped away, there are three choices: to parent, to adopt or to abort.

There was a time when choosing an alternative to parenting was anything but positive. You could either end the baby's life through abortion or "give up" your baby for adoption to a couple you knew nothing about, only to never see your baby again.

Thankfully, the realm of adoption has undergone a dramatic revolution in the past 20 years and even more so in the last decade. In fact, even finding any similarities between the way adoptions were conducted in the past and today.

The good thing is, you have choices, and no matter your decision, you will be far from alone in it. Of the 6.2 million women who were pregnant in 2002, fewer than half had planned the pregnancy (Options magazine, 2003).

While it is a good thing you have choices, you have to find the strength and rationality within to come to the best decision for both you and your child. Family and friends are wonderful resources who care for and love you, but sometimes, that isn't the best perspective from which to make an objective, well thought-out decision. That's why speaking with an adoption professional can be especially beneficial at this time.

Each decision brings with it myriad considerations - financial impact, emotional outcomes, medical possibilities, day care necessities, degree of family support or emotional support, to name but a few.

For most women, it's downright dizzying. Adoption professionals are trained to serve as a third party, unbiased perspective which can help you process through all of these factors in a rational way. Speaking with an adoption professional is the best way to garner an unbiased opinion so that you can be truly empowered to arrive at the best conclusion possible for both you and your baby.

Cost Differences
Adoption There is no cost to you if you choose adoption. In fact, pregnancy-related expenses are paid for by the adoptive family, which often include medical care and living expenses. Examples may include: rent, utilities, maternity clothing, food, prenatal vitamins and any other medical expenses not covered by your insurance or Medicaid. You will be able to speak with your adoption specialist about your specific needs.
Abortion Depending on how far along you are in the pregnancy, the cost will range from $500-$2,000 for an abortion. There may also be additional charges for ultrasound, the "morning-after" pill, birth control and further medical treatment, should an infection should occur.
Parenting Parenting is the most expensive option. Total cost to parent a child ranges from $1,000-$2,000 monthly. This estimate may include but is not limited to: diapers, baby bottles, formula, clothing, car seat, day care, first aid supplies, blankets, crib or basinet, and hygiene products. A parent must also budget for shelter, food, transportation, and utilities to raise their child.

When all of these expenses are added up, it will cost approximately $12,000 - $24,000 per year to raise a child. This estimate does not include education and other items that children will require.

Answer 2

It is called RU486, they give it to you usually up 9 weeks of pregnancy. It costs just as much as a surgical abortion and if it doesn't produce a complete abortion they have to do it surgically and you have to pay full price for that too. People think it is better because of privacy, but actually many women have been traumatized by it. You have severe cramping, like any abortion, but then your baby comes out it your underwear or in the toilet and you see it plain as day. Women have described seeing fingers, toes, etc. they describe not being sure of what to do.
My experience is that most women regret their abortions whether surgical or medical. And most women I have talked with say that they have had a very hard time with their abortion experience.

Answer 3

You would have to call your local women's clinic and find out. Did you know that if you are so far along in the pregnancy to have a medicated abortion - then if you were to go into pre-mature labor before taking the abortion medication, the baby would have a chance to survive. Just some food for thought.

Answer 4

There is a medication that you can take, but they are given to you by the physician that performs the abortion.

When you go in for an abortion, instead of doing a surgical procedure, they give you I think 2 pills.

You'll have to call a clinic or medical office that performs abortions.

Answer 5

I don't recall the medications name, but you should know that abortion is dangerous in itself, and medicational abortion is more dangerous than surgical. I had a surgical abortion, and I do not reccommend it. Are you sure you want to? If you do, just be ready for some pain. Its very uncomfortable.



and don't listen to the abortion bashers..I only don't recommend it because it was painful....it's still your decision to make and it's your body. And personally, if I was going to go full term, I wouldn't give my baby up for adoption. Kind of pointless....

Answer 6

Medication abortions are usually available in the first 2 months. contact your doctor or Planned Parenthood for more information.

Answer 7

The morning after pill can usually only be used within 72 hours after conception. And the other one that you can take for up to two months after conception is illegal in a lot of places. Unfortunately, you might have to go thruogh a surgical abortion, if that is your choice. I'm sorry and good luck.

Answer 8

Dont listen to these ignorant people they dont know your situation. Yes it is called the RU-486 but only usually up to 9 weeks no later. I had a D&E, a month ago tomorrow.

Answer 9

the only pill i have heard of is the morning after pill and that has to be taken with in 72 hours of having sex....
As for the pill to cause a miscarriage, im pretty sure its not a perscription and probebly an illegal substance....
If you dont want the baby, you should have thought about that before having sex.

Answer 10

dont have an abortion..its murder.
everyone deserves a chance at life.
even if it doesnt look like a baby yet..it still is.
plus you'll regret it later.
