Abortion and what happens next
You need to confirm you are pregnant and that the pregnancy is not ectopic this requires an ultrasound, which we provide to you absolutely free of charge. What's more, in some cases, we can perform your ultrasound same day instead of weeks. Abortion of any kind is a multi-step process. It is important to understand each step and the possible side effects to your body and mental state. There are two main types of abortion: medication and surgical. Each procedure could be an option for you, depending on how far along your pregnancy, how large the fetus is and if you’re eligible. Find out these details by receiving an ultrasound at our center. Medication Abortion (The Abortion Pill)The abortion pill is used in what’s called mediation abortion. There are actually two types of drugs involved in the process. The first drug, Mifepristone causes the uterus to thin to prevent the embryo from implanting or growing. The second drug, Misoprostol causes the uterus to contract and expel the pregnancy. Only women under 10 weeks pregnant may be eligible for this type of abortion. Surgical AbortionDuring a surgical abortion, anesthesia is given and a doctor takes you through a surgical abortion process. Surgical tools are used to open the cervix and remove the fetus. There are multiple types of surgical abortions, depending on the age of pregnancy. Women tend to face side effects like cramping after this extensive abortion procedure.
