Can pregnancy be terminated after 24 weeks in india?
Asking for understanding na, my cousin is in a difficult situation and the scan showed some issues this late. We are confused about what the law even allows after this point. Does anyone know how it actually works here?
Hearing about this makes me so sensitive, honestly. After 24 weeks, it's considered quite late, and the baby is very developed. There are very strict medical and legal guidelines for termination at such a stage, usually only for extreme medical necessities. Please, please talk to your gynac about what you are going through, they will guide you best.
Oh god, 24 weeks! At this point, my baby is practically doing somersaults inside me and kicking my ribs like crazy, mere saath bhi. I can't even imagine. Jokes aside, this is definitely something only a doctor can properly guide you on, laws are very strict for later term pregnancies. It's not a small thing.
Actually, after 24 weeks, the baby is considered quite developed, almost viable in some cases. When I was delivering recently, my doctor was very particular about timelines for everything. If there's a serious medical reason, the process is very different and specific. Pls talk to your doctor about your specific situation.
Honestly, for something like this, you absolutely need to talk to a proper gynac. There are very specific legal rules in India, especially after 20 weeks. My doc had mentioned something about complications being the only exception, but even then, it's a super complex medical and legal process. Pls consult your doctor immediately.
I felt so connected to my baby even before 24 weeks, knowing everything was growing. At 24 weeks, the baby is really quite formed, so termination becomes a very serious and complicated matter. You really need to discuss this in detail with your doc, as there are many legal and ethical considerations in India for late-term abortions.
Haan na, after 24 weeks, that's like almost six months done. India mein toh law bahut strict hai after 20 weeks itself. I think if there's any big problem with the baby or mother, then only doc will consider. But this is not a general thing, you must talk to your gynac right away.
