A positive pregnancy test may make you feel like your life is suddenly out of your control. So, you may have searched “How to Have a Miscarriage,” in an attempt to end the pregnancy quickly and privately.
We imagine that you feel overwhelmed, and perhaps scared. But, before you try to end the pregnancy, you should gather the facts about your pregnancy and the risks of self-induced miscarriage. Today, we will explore all that you need to know.
1. How far along are you?
It’s important to know how far along you are in your pregnancy. Although you can guess based on your last menstrual period, an ultrasound is the most accurate way to know how far along you are.
2. Is your pregnancy viable?
Call Pregnancy Resource Center + Medical Clinic for a free ultrasound today at (320) 253-1962.
The idea of a self-induced miscarriage may feel convenient and relieving but it can also pose serious threats to your physical health. Some risks could include:
No one should take herbs or home remedies to end a pregnancy. Taking herbs to induce miscarriage could cause severe complications including organ failure,2 or even death.3
Research affirms that stress, exercise, sexual activity, and prolonged use of birth control do not cause miscarriage.4 Nonetheless, your mental and emotional wellbeing are extremely important. If you find yourself unable to handle stress or are experiencing spiraling thoughts, call Pregnancy Resource Center + Medical Clinic for help and support.
If you’re experiencing an unexpected pregnancy and considering harming yourself, please know that you have other options. Inflicting physical harm does not always cause a miscarriage and can instead threaten your health and your life. If you’re in immediate danger, call 911. Otherwise, call Pregnancy Resource Center + Medical Clinic to speak confidentially with our kind and compassionate staff.
A miscarriage occurs when a pregnancy stops developing on its own before 20 weeks. Miscarriages occur in 10-20% of pregnancies, often for reasons outside of a woman’s control.5 Healthcare teams help manage a miscarriage, as they evaluate for signs of infection, retained tissue, and other complications.
During an abortion, a woman intentionally ends a pregnancy by taking prescribed abortion pills, or by undergoing a medical procedure. Abortion availability depends on how far along you are in your pregnancy and state laws. All abortions should also be managed by a healthcare team.
If you’re concerned about a miscarriage, you should first see a medical provider. Healthcare teams use ultrasounds, blood work (a hormone level called hCG), and a pelvic exam to evaluate for a miscarriage.6 If the pregnancy has not progressed or is no longer viable, then you may need other medical interventions, and will not need to end the pregnancy yourself.
Before trying to end your pregnancy, call us at (320) 253-1962. Our compassionate team wants to provide you with the information you need to make the best decision for your health and your future.
