The thought of an unplanned pregnancy can be a terrifying and overwhelming situation for any woman. A woman can seek out the expertise and professionalism of the staff at an abortion clinic. An abortion can be safely completed up to 14-weeks gestation. Abortion clinics are operated by doctors and nurses who specialize in the abortion procedure.
An abortion clinic offers confidential, discreet help for those who wish to terminate a pregnancy. In many cases, an terminating a pregnancy is the most responsible choice in spite of any other attitudes others may have.
Abortion clinics assume every woman has the right to choose when an abortion is desirable. Physicians at an abortion clinic will perform a number of tests to determine the health of a patient as well as an ultrasound to determine the gestational age of the pregnancy.
A woman has the option of choosing a non-surgical abortion if the pregnancy is less than seven weeks along. An FDA approved drug is administered while at the clinic. The woman is sent home to relax in the comfort of her own home while the abortion process begins. Two days following the initial drug, another set of pills is taken. This procedure is considered 95% effective, but must be followed up by an examination to confirm that the abortion has taken place.
A surgical abortion procedure can be completed with local anesthesia or with a person completely under. The preferred method is usually left up to each individual woman. A knowledgeable team of professionals can help each woman decide what is the best option. An experienced certified registered nurse anesthetist will administer the anesthetic of choice, following standard anesthesia guidelines.
Surgical abortions are completed fairly quickly. The dilation process is fairly simple and usually involves taking a pill or inserting a pill into the vagina. While not painful an abortion involving a local anesthetic may result in some mild cramping.
If a woman is uncomfortable with the procedure, general anesthesia may be a better choice. A doctor or nurse will help determine the best choice. Counseling services are available as well for those who need someone to talk to.
