 Surgical Abortion:

The surgical procedure is available from six weeks to 14 weeks (dated from the first day of the last monthly period). First trimester abortions are very safe (about ten times safer than childbirth) and the procedure takes about 5 minutes to complete. As with any surgery there are risks and complications involved. During your office visit we will go over these risks and possible complications with you and answer any questions that you may have.

Listed below are some of these risks and complications:
•
 Infection - infection occurs less than 1% of the time and as a preventative all patients receive oral antibiotics.
•
 Incomplete procedure - occurs less than 1% of the time.
•
 Heavy bleeding - less than 1⁄2 of 1%
•
 Uterine perforation or damage to internal structures - less than 1⁄2 of 1%
•
 Continued pregnancy - less than 1%

Again, a counselor will review these risks and complications with you. If you would like further information prior to your appointment please call us.

What to expect on the day of your appointment

Before your surgical abortion appointment:
•
 do not eat anything prior to your procedure. You may drink clear liquids (water, Sprite, gingerale, etc) up until your appointment
•
 wear a comfortable, two piece outfit
•
 you must have a driver with you for a ride home
•
 we ask that you do not bring children to the office
•
 one adult may accompany you in the procedure room

Generally your appointment will last 1-2 hours. We understand that your time is important and we will do everything we can to get you home safely and quickly. On the day of the procedure you will fill out paperwork, give us a urine sample so we can confirm your pregnancy, have some lab work done, meet with the doctor to discuss the procedure, anesthesia options, risks, options, birth control, aftercare instructions, and to address any and all concerns that you may have.

When the procedure is over you will remain resting for a short amount of time so we may observe your vital signs and make sure you are feeling okay. Before you leave we will go over your aftercare instructions again and make sure you have all of your take home medications.

After Care

It is very important to take care of yourself after the procedure. We will give you very specific instructions to take home with you and in addition, we are always available to answer any questions.

Listed below are a few of the after care instructions:
•
 Make sure you take all of the medication you are sent home with.
•
 Do not insert anything into your vagina and do not have intercourse until after your post operative follow up exam.
•
 We do not want you to do heavy lifting or rigorous activity until after your post operative exam.
