Question
hi i just want to know what is the maximum time to go for MTP or abortion ..like 16 week pregnancy can go for a termination..
thanks
Dear Ani,
In most civilized countries the limit for interruption is the moment that the baby could stay alive if it was born at that time. Only when the life of the mother, or the baby is threatened by continuation of the pregnancy it can be stopped by a later abortion.
If you live in the USA 16 weeks is no problem. Only you can decide to terminate it or not. If so, do not wait. Interrupting is - statistically - more complicated as time goes.
Take care and good luck
