Continue reading to learn what you need before an abortion.
1. Confirm Essential Pregnancy Details
An at-home pregnancy test only confirms a potential pregnancy, and these tests can produce incorrect results. New Life offers pregnancy testing a registered nurse (RN) performs, so you’ll receive an accurate result.
Even if you receive a positive result, you still need more information before an abortion. You may qualify for a limited obstetric ultrasound at our center.
An ultrasound will determine your pregnancy’s:
- Viability: Whether it is developing normally and has a detectable heartbeat
- Gestational age: How far along you are
- Location: Whether your pregnancy is located in the uterus
This information is crucial to understanding your pregnancy options. For example, medical abortion is FDA-approved through 10 weeks gestation, so you must know how far along you are.
And if you’re experiencing a miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy, you need more details. A miscarriage may require monitoring by a healthcare provider, and an ectopic pregnancy is a medical emergency that needs immediate treatment.
2. Speak with a Healthcare Provider
In addition to receiving an ultrasound, you should also speak with a healthcare provider about abortion.
This is a crucial step. You should review your complete health history, including any allergies or conditions you have. The provider can review the risks and requirements for abortion procedures. Skipping this step can impact your health.
3. Review Your Options
Even if you want an abortion, you may not know about the side effects and risks associated with each procedure. You might be uncertain about parenting or making an adoption plan but wish to learn more.
New Life provides options and information on abortion, adoption, and parenting. Here, you can ask questions without judgment and receive what you need to make an informed decision.
We won’t pressure you to choose an option. We’re here to offer information and provide the facts.
