If the woman has no compulsion and she can raise the child well, and she also does not have any physical problem, then giving birth to a child can be a better option. Even after an unwanted pregnancy, if the woman wants to continue the pregnancy, then she should start taking care of herself during pregnancy. Care during pregnancy is important for the health of both the woman and the child to be born. In such a situation, definitely pay attention to the following things -

Before delivery, you can start taking a vitamin-rich diet and supplements, which must contain 400 mcg of folic acid. Folic acid reduces the risk of brain and spinal cord problems in babies.

Immediately stop consuming alcohol, cigarettes or drugs. These can be harmful to the health of both the woman and the baby.

Take full care of yourself during pregnancy. Consult a doctor to reduce stress or sadness at this time. Take a healthy diet and drink plenty of water to maintain energy. Avoid eating high seafood including raw meat, tuna fish and swordfish.

Most abortions can be done during the first trimester or the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. If you accidentally get pregnant, first meet an obstetrician gynecologist. If you are not planning to keep the child, then you can opt for abortion on the advice of the doctor. Pregnancy can be terminated by abortion. During this time, women may also have to face many physical and mental problems. Abortion is done surgically or through medicines, which is as follows -

1. Surgical Abortion
2. Abortion By Medicine

If symptoms of unwanted pregnancy are visible, then confirm it as soon as possible, because the sooner the pregnancy is confirmed, the sooner the woman will be able to make the right decision for the future. Whether to continue the pregnancy or have an abortion, it completely depends on the woman. However, in both situations, one should definitely consult a doctor once. Always take the right decision keeping your health in mind.
