Q: Can I Still Do Something to Terminate 5 Months Pregnancy?

i have'nt gotten my period for 5 months now this august. at first i was'nt that hesitant because it's been usual that i got delayed on my period. but this time it was the longest, 5 months this august. i was on the denial at first that the reason for the delay of my menstruation was because i am pregnant. but to cut the paranoia out, i did pregnancy test and it's positive. i still want to end this up. people might judge me but i have my reasons. and i really wanted to know if i can still do something to terminate it? i have to know it this early because i know it might be too late.

Well considering you are in the Philippines I would say your only option is to continue the pregnancy and have the child adopted. There are no drugs that you can take at this far along that won''t just cause you to have a badly damaged child and possibly damage/kill you.

I don't even think travelling to a country where abortion is legal will do you any good because you'll be hard pushed to find a doctor willing to perform an elective abortion on a woman who is so far along.

It is too late now, there is nothing that can be done.

Unless you could somehow travel to get an abortion performed by a doctor.

5 Months Into Pregnancy
Because you are so far along and therefore the baby has his/her fingers and toes and of course a heartbeat and brain wave it is probably best to begin looking for an adopting couple... even by email overseas. Some couples are willing to help financially to get you medical care and other help. Be cautious because there are numerous people who would take advantage of your situation. If you are unsure of any contacts have a close friend give you advice and even go with you if there is a real world meeting. Unfortunately, good people and predators sound exactly the same when they contact you. Be very careful.

in coutries where abortion is legal i think they wud only to 6- 14 weeks abortion. after that, im not so sure. it will depend on the health state of the woman. and since abortion is not legal in ur country, the only other option i can think of is adoption. im sorry
