CONSIDERING ABORTION?

Are you thinking about scheduling an abortion? First you want to make sure that you are pregnant. The only way to know for sure is to take a medical grade pregnancy test, which is not available for over-the-counter purchase. 

However, at Birthline we can provide you with a FREE medical grade pregnancy test. Just reach out to us today to make an appointment for your free test.

The next step is to get an ultrasound to make sure the pregnancy is viable (growing) or if you have miscarried. Birthline can also help you with a FREE ultrasound. Contact Birthline today so we can get you scheduled for a free ultrasound.

These steps are important because, as with any major medical decision, you want to be as informed as possible prior to making a decision.

TWO TYPES OF ABORTION

There are two methods of abortion: medical and chemical. The method you choose depends on how far along you are in your pregnancy. If you would like to know exactly how far along you are in your pregnancy, reach out so we can schedule your FREE ultrasound.

SURGICAL ABORTION

A surgical abortion is performed in a clinic.. There are different types of surgical procedures that depend on how far along you are in your pregnancy. Each procedure requires your cervix to be dilated (opened), so the pregnancy can be taken out. Vacuum aspiration, a scraping tool, and forceps may be used to remove the pregnancy. 

Surgical Abortion Risks:

According to the Mayo Clinic, a surgical abortion comes with the following possible side effects and risks:

  • Perforation of the uterus
  • Damage to the cervix
  • Scar tissue on the uterine wall
  • Infection
  • Heavy bleeding
