Planets in signs and houses

Abortion:
1. When counting the number of children, such as the first child being represented by the 5th house cusp, the 2nd child being represented by the 7th house cusp, the third child being represented by the 9th house cusp, etc., what happens when there has been an abortion? Do we count that as a child?
Mistakes made here will give mistakes in predicting correctly the sex of each child and the number of children. When an abortion takes place after 3 months from conception, the fetus is counted as a child because during that abortion, the sex of the child was clearly developed, but when abortion takes place before the completion of the 3 month gestational period, this pregnancy is not taken as a child birth because the sex of the child, prior to that time, is not clear. So this factor must be clearly known for an astrologer to fix both the sex of the child, and the correct number of children that the mother will deliver.
