I'v just found out im pregnant. I'm 18 in just a week, Iv just finished college and now waiting for my results, i want this baby so does my boyfriend but im so scared as i need to make a choice between this baby or my career. Im meant to be going to University in september and this is what all my family are all expecteting me to do so they would be dissapointed. Iv thought about this long and hard and realise that if i go through with this then i deffently want to go back to work as soon as the baby is old enough and hopefully attending uni through an apprentaship which would be through work. My boyfriend is so scared of my family and how disapointed they will be thats whats pushing him towards 'not wanting this baby' i always tell him its about us not others! I obviously need time to think about all this so need to know when at the lastest i wil be able to have an abortion if things were not to go right and also what ways this will be as i know early on you can take a pill when can you not do this? Please help or give me advice as i really need it. Thanks.

Most abortions are done in the first trimester of pregnancy(the first 3 months). The 2 types of abortion: medical and surgical, have different deadlines.

Medical - an abortion triggered by medication. Medical abortions can only be done in the first 9 weeks of pregnancy.

Surgical - procedure done by a doctor to remove the lining of the womb.

a. Manual vacuum aspiration (MVA)can be done in the first 10 weeks of pregnancy.

b. D&C can be done after the first month of pregnancy but must be performed before the end of the 13th week.
