Artificial birth... Unfortunately,Sometimes life happens in such a way that it is impossible to carry a pregnancy to term. Most often, pregnancy is terminated by abortions at early stages of pregnancy – before the age of twelve. However, sometimes circumstances develop in such a way that it becomes necessary to terminate a pregnancy at a later stage. It is precisely such terminations of pregnancy that are called artificial births. They are carried out only for strictly limited social and medical indications, but not at the request of the woman herself, as is the case with ordinary abortions. Many women are interested in: until what term do artificial births take place? As a rule, they are carried out at a term of 15 to 22 – 23 weeks of pregnancy.
Types of artificial birth
One of the varieties of artificialtermination of pregnancy is the so-called saline abortion. In fairness, it should be noted that recently this type of termination of pregnancy is used less and less, since the risk of developing various complications on the part of the mother's body is very high. A saline abortion is performed as follows: the amniotic fluid - about 200 ml., by puncturing the amniotic sac, is pumped out by the doctor. And the released volume is filled with a special saline solution - sodium chloride. The child is surrounded by a saline solution and begins to die. The death of the baby with this type of abortion is extremely painful and prolonged. The child slowly, over several hours, dies. The death of the fetus occurs in several stages - first, under the influence of sodium chloride, a severe chemical burn is formed, then hydration, and only after that - a hemorrhage in the brain, which, in fact, becomes the cause of the death of the child. After some time, the woman begins labor contractions, which contract the uterus and push the fetus out. In medicine, such a fruit is called "lollipop" - because of the bright red color of the skin, which occurs due to the fact that under the influence of a saline solution the skin becomes thinner and blood vessels become visible. Any gynecologist is simply obliged to warn a woman who wants to have a salt artificial birth about what the child will experience, whose nervous system and all pain receptors are already fully formed. In addition, a salt abortion has one very significant drawback - sometimes children still survive and remain disabled. Much more often, doctors use a substance such as prostaglandin to carry out artificial birth. This substance is a female hormone that leads to softening of the cervix and the occurrence of labor contractions. Simply put, premature labor begins. Intravenous drips with a drug such as oxytocin can also be used. Oxytocin is also a hormone that causes the smooth muscles of the uterus to contract and the birth process to begin. In some cases, a minor cesarean section is performed, during which the fetus is removed. Because the baby's lungs are not yet mature, once outside the uterus, it simply dies from hypoxia.
Indications for artificial delivery
Another question that worries many women— where can I have an artificial birth? To do this, a woman must contact a doctor - a gynecologist at a women's clinic at the place of registration. As mentioned above, artificial birth is carried out only in the presence of strict social or medical indications. The presence of medical indications, as a rule, is established by a special commission, which is created at the medical institution where the artificial birth will be carried out. The woman will be carefully examined beforehand, a number of examinations will be prescribed, and, if necessary, consultations with specialists. And only if there is no way to maintain the pregnancy. There is a strict list of diseases that are indications for artificial birth:
- Infectious diseases
Induced labor can be carried out in thatif the pregnant woman is infected with infectious diseases such as rubella, which can lead to the development of serious pathologies of the internal organs of the fetus, often incompatible with life, tuberculosis and syphilis. Incidentally, in the last two cases the indications are very conditional.
- Defects in the child that are incompatible with life
Unfortunately, nature sometimes allowsmonstrous mistakes, as a result of which there are some pathologies in the development of the future baby. In this article, we will not find out why this happens, we will simply accept it as an inevitable fact. These pathologies can be very diverse - from mild to extremely severe, depriving the child of a chance to live. But even in this case, the final word always remains with the mother - only a woman must decide whether she is ready to go through all the tests to the end.
- Severe systemic diseases of the mother
In the event that a woman has any –or systemic diseases, such as complex heart defects, diseases of the nervous system, severe diseases of the liver and kidneys, circulatory and vascular systems, pregnancy can pose a real threat not only to the health, but also to the life of the expectant mother. Therefore, in the most extreme cases, when no other measures are relevant, doctors are forced to resort to extreme measures - to induce artificial labor. But, of course, in this case the final decision will remain with the mother. In addition to medical indications for artificial labor, there are a number of social ones. These include:
- The court decision on the deprivation of parental rights or their restriction against other children.
- Pregnancy, which occurred as a result of the rape of a woman - of course, provided her desire.
- Finding a woman in the remand center or other places of detention.
- Death of a husband during a woman's pregnancy.
- Getting a husband of the first or second group of disabilities during pregnancy of a woman.
But using artificial labor asa means of terminating an unwanted pregnancy is unlikely to succeed - no doctor will agree to such a thing. But even if you manage to find an unscrupulous specialist who agrees to perform artificial labor, think ten times - are you ready to kill a living person? After all, unlike abortions, as a result of artificial labor, fully formed children are born, many of whom are even capable of crying. And they simply die from hypoxia. Believe me, few women are able to calmly survive this. We recommend reading:
