Answer
Hi Jem :)
You need a doctor to perform a late term procedure, or induce preterm labor. Discuss with a gynecologist or doctor your situation. There are some out there willing to help you. The risks are higher with later term procedures, but if it is performed by a trained professional, you will be okay. Unfortunately, after 24 weeks (6 months) it is very difficult to get an abortion. So please, discuss this thoroughly with a doctor, or more, and they may be able to help you. If not, and you are unable to end the pregnancy, you can consider adoption, but try your best with a doctor first.
