Abortion Procedure
Information
Considering an Abortion Clinic Procedure?
If you are considering an abortion, get the answers you need to make an informed choice. Ask yourself these questions before scheduling an abortion:
-
Do you know what type of abortion you will need based on how far along you are in your pregnancy?
-
Do you have a general idea of what the abortion procedure will cost?
-
Do you know the physical symptoms, side effects, and risks associated with this procedure?
-
Do you know what to expect after the abortion?
-
Do you have support and a primary health care provider to follow up with your care after the abortion?
If you are in your first trimester (weeks 1-12), or think you may be in your second trimester(weeks 13-26) and are looking for options, contact us for a no-cost consultation on your options and a free pregnancy confirmation appointment. While we do not refer for or provide abortion services, we can confirm how far along you are, talk through your health history, and answer any questions you have about what to expect, risks, recovery, and more.
Aspiration abortion and a D&E abortion are the two most common types of abortion clinic procedures in Illinois.
Surgical Abortion Side Effects and Risks
There are risks to any surgery. The majority of abortion procedures are called blind procedures, which means the doctor or medical professional is relying on surgical instruments and cannot see inside the uterus. Side effects can include, but are not limited to:
-
Heavy bleeding
-
Nausea
-
Vomiting
-
Cramping
-
Fever
-
Blood clots
-
Allergic reactions to the anesthesia
-
Abdominal pain
-
Infection
-
Perforation of the uterus
-
Sepsis
Occasionally, some women need another procedure to remove parts of the fetus or pregnancy that have stayed in the womb.
