An IUD is a contraceptive, a small coil of about 3 cm placed by a medical professional in the womb to prevent pregnancy. A woman who has an IUD and is pregnant must have an ultrasound because the risk of an ectopic pregnancy is higher. If the pregnancy is in the womb, the IUD must be removed before using abortion medicines.
