Are you unexpectedly pregnant and considering abortion? It’s natural to consider all your options, as each one has lasting effects. However, because abortion is a medical procedure, there are additional risks to consider.
Before having an abortion, you’ll want to complete the following steps.
The first thing you’ll want to do before even considering your options is to confirm that you are pregnant. Even if you’ve taken a pregnancy test and the results were positive, that only indicates pregnancy.
You can confirm your pregnancy through an ultrasound. Having an ultrasound performed will tell if your pregnancy is viable, meaning that it can be carried to term. Also, you’ll need to know how far along you are to determine which type of abortion procedure would be available to you.
You may be eligible for a free ultrasound after a positive pregnancy test at our center. Learn about your pregnancy before making a final decision.
As with any elective medical procedure, you’ll want to do your research before making a final decision. If you were to get Lasik to correct your vision, you would research the costs, the risks, the side effects and more. You should do the same with abortion. There are several types of abortion procedures with varying availability depending on how developed the fetus is, as well as the availability of doctors willing to perform the procedure or administer the medication.
