Hi, Meeting a nearby Gynecologist is what is recommended for you. By law of India , medical ,legal termination of pregnancy is allowed up-to 20 weeks of gestation. But you need to answer the question- why you want to terminate. You simply saying - I don't want to continue with the pregnancy is NOT enough grounds for doing termination. The indication should be a valid one. Any doctor can refuse to take your case if indication is not valid and not within permissible limits of law. Please meet your Gynecologist in person as soon as possible. Online- you will not get advise, more than this
