I'm 9 weeks pregnant and need to terminate because I'm not married and my boyfriend wants an abortion. Are there any pills I can take for a medical abortion or do I have to get surgery? I really prefer pills since nobody knows about my pregnancy and I want to keep it private. Can you help me figure out my options?

Mifepristone is taken first, and it works by blocking the hormone progesterone, which is necessary for maintaining pregnancy. Misoprostol is taken later and causes the uterus to contract and expel the pregnancy. Medical abortions are typically only recommended for pregnancies up to 10 weeks

View allI'm 34 weeks pregnant and getting really excited to meet my baby. Ive been thinking a lot about whether it's a boy or a girl, and while Im happy either way, I'm curious about something I heard. Is it true that you can predict a babys gender based on their heart rate?
As a doctor, I can reassure you that there is no scientific evidence to support the idea that a baby's heart rate can predict its gender. While some myths suggest a higher heart rate indicates a girl and a lower one a boy, it's just thatmyths. The heart rate varies for many reasons and isn't linked to gender. Just focus on enjoying your pregnancy, and your baby's health is what matters most!

Can cinnamon actually work as a natural way to end a pregnancy? I tested positive on a home test a couple of days ago and I'm not really looking to keep the pregnancy going. I'm thinking about natural options since it's really early, like just a week or two. Do these natural methods really work, and if so, how much cinnamon powder would I need to use?
Using cinnamon as a natural means of abortion is not recommended as it can be unsafe and ineffective. It is important to seek medical advice for safe and appropriate options for terminating a pregnancy. I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider for further guidance and support.
