Having had 3 children and given birth 3 times, Ms. B did not want to have more. When she found out she was pregnant, she ordered abortion pills online and took them herself. After taking the pills, she had severe abdominal pain and heavy bleeding. She was taken to a medical center near her home, then transferred to the Vietnam - Sweden Uong Bi Hospital (Quang Ninh province) for emergency treatment.
Ms. B was admitted to the hospital with severe abdominal pain, heavy vaginal bleeding, and a fully dilated cervix.When asked, the woman said that when she found out she was pregnant, she did not go to the doctor and did not remember the date of her last period, so she did not know how many weeks old the fetus was.
About 10 minutes after being admitted to the hospital, the mother gave birth to a baby girl weighing 550 grams.According to the weight index, the doctors determined that the fetus was about 22 weeks old.The baby girl was born in a state of severe respiratory failure.Doctors urgently treated the mother and newborn in the intensive care unit.However, due to premature birth and the effects of the abortion, the baby died just 3 hours after birth.
According to doctors, medical abortion will cause some strong reactions such as abdominal cramps, heavy bleeding, uterine rupture, shortness of breath, dizziness, low blood pressure...In addition, abortion pills are also contraindicated for people with underlying adrenal gland disease, blood clotting disorders, breastfeeding, women with old scars in the uterus, uterine malformations, ectopic pregnancy, history of allergies to any previous medications...
When discovering pregnancy and wanting to terminate the pregnancy, it is necessary to be examined and consulted by specialists about safe abortion methods.Medical abortion can only be performed at reputable medical facilities and by trained obstetricians and gynecologists.The process of taking the medicine must be guided and closely monitored by a doctor.Many people buy drugs to use themselves or have abortions at unqualified medical facilities, which can lead to uterine rupture, retained fetus, retained placenta, causing hemorrhage, prolonged blood loss, high risk of uterine infection, and endangering life.
