Pregnancy at 21 Weeks: Understanding Your Options


Question
i am 21 weeks pregnant and was wanting to know if it was too late for the pill to work or if there was another way without the medical abortion

Answer
Dear Stacy - At 21 weeks pregnant, you are definitely too far for the abortion pill.  It only works to nine weeks.  After that it will cause birth defects and not end a pregnancy.  You SHOULD NOT try to use it! It would be dangerous to you and cause defects to the pregnancy.  You can look online for facilities that end pregnancies over 20 weeks.  The best resource that I am aware of is gynpages.com.

I hope this is helpful,
