Before the Procedure +27782749118

When you schedule your appointment, your health care provider will probably give you some instructions over the phone. Because in-clinic abortions are considered surgeries, you may have to fast starting around midnight the night before your procedure.

When you arrive at the clinic, you’ll fill out some paperwork and answer questions about your medical history. You’ll then get a pre-abortion workup, which includes a physical examination, pregnancy test, blood test, screening for sexually transmitted infections, and possibly additional testing, if your case warrants it. Many providers will also use an ultrasound to confirm how far along you are in your pregnancy and check for uterine, fetal, or placental abnormalities.

All of this information, which your doctor will discuss with you during a short counseling session, will help them determine which procedure is right for you.

Some states require you to get this counseling in person instead of over the phone or a video call. And lots of states require you to wait a certain amount of time after the counseling session until you get your abortion, although there’s no medical reason for this. Depending on the state, this waiting period could be from 18 to 72 hours. If you’re having a medical emergency or your life or health is in danger, states waive the waiting period requirements.
