Surgical Abortion of a one-month old pregnancy
The surgical method is one in which the abortion is planned with the help of your doctor. This is an intervention and cannot be done without your doctor and the clinic. Depending on the maturity of the pregnancy, the right method is chosen from among three: Aspiration, Dilation and Evacuation, and Dilation and Extraction. For a one-moth old pregnancy, the method chosen is aspiration. The procedure takes 10 to 15 minutes. Sedation and a local anaesthetic is used. Post procedure stay and rest in the clinic is advised, at least for a few hours. Aspiration is done by dilating the cervix and then suctioning out the foetus and placenta.
You should be aware that however simple, this procedure may not come without side effects and you need to watch out for these and report the same to your doctor. Nausea, blood clots, cramping, feeling faint, heavy bleeding, damage to the cervix and perforation of the uterus may occur. While we don’t meant o scare you off, it is important that you are aware and well informed of all the angles associated with the procedure.

Foods that can cause or help in abortion
Down the years we have heard from our grandmas and mothers about foods that aid abortion; in fact, this is the very reason that these foods are banned from a pregnant woman’s diet till she delivers a baby.
Papaya
How to abort 1 month pregnancy? Both ripe and unripe forms of papaya if consumed in large quantities can lead to abortion. This is mainly due to the presence of latex (the milky white fluid) in the fruit. Latex has high levels of prostaglandin and oxytocin that aid in labour contractions. In addition, papaya has the papain enzyme that reduces the production of progesterone, which in turn impacts the pregnancy and helps in abortion. At the same time, papain helps in increasing the production of oestrogens. So, if you seek an abortion, befriend the papaya.
Pineapple
The green, yet-to-ripen pineapples are best for natural abortion. Pineapple has proteolytic enzyme which helps in breaking down the protein. If you consume 1-2 pineapples a day in the early stages of pregnancy, then the cervix is softened which causes bleeding, which results in abortion.
Goji berry, parsley and Vitamin C for abortion
Goji berry (dried), parsley contain Vitamin C. Vitamin C increases the level of oestrogen in blood and this leads to abortion. Parsley also has volatile oils that lead to uterine wall thinning resulting in uterine spasms and thus, abortion.
Chamomile Tea
This fragrant, popular tea is also a popular and effective natural method of abortion. This is due to its primary ingredient -thujone, which induces uterine contractions and leads to abortion. 2 to 3 cups a day should suffice for natural abortion.
Evening primrose oil helps in abortion
You may either consume a pill of the oil or massage large amounts on the cervix with it for results.
Cinnamon
Consumed in any form leads to abortion, be it a stick chewed or in the powered form. Take care not to over eat cinnamon in a hurry to terminate the pregnancy quickly as this may leave you with major health complications.

Sexual intercourse for abortion
Again, a natural way of aborting, sexual intercourse done multiple times during a day coupled with orgasm can result in a natural abortion.
Hot water showers for two weeks
Extremely hot water showers (102 degrees or more) may aid in abortion. Hot water sends the body in crisis mode so the attention to the foetus is taken away which result in abortion.
Massage for ending abortion
If you massage the belly with any oil with strokes positioned towards the pelvic area, this can result in natural abortion.
There are other natural methods like intense workouts with jogging, squats, sit ups, crunches, abdominal exercises that aid in abortion. Also, taking an aspirin 5 to 6 times a day for a few days may result in abortion. For this, medical advice is absolutely necessary.
While you may be successful in aborting an unwanted or unhealthy pregnancy, abortion can also have its effects on the mother and will usually take some time to heal fully. There also might be an emotional impact involved, which needs to be considered in post abortion care and healing.
Abortion comes with a set of pre and post care measures and is not a decision that can be taken very easily. Do exercise adequate care and caution before you go in for an abortion. Your health is top priority after all and do remember that your health is in your hands!
