A Pregnancy Evaluation is standard care for any woman

considering abortion.

Our team at Lifespring is here to help you navigate this stressful time

Before having an abortion, schedule a no-cost pregnancy evaluation.

1. Confirm a viable pregnancy

A viable pregnancy means a developing fetus is in the correct location in your uterus and has a heartbeat. 

A pregnancy test alone is not a reliable source to confirm viability. An ultrasound is needed to confirm if the pregnancy is viable.

2. Find out how far along you are

The gestational age (how far along you are) influences what abortion options you have and how much it will cost.  

Taking the abortion pill after 10 weeks increases your risk for an incomplete abortion with the need for further treatment.

3. Get tested for STIs

Having an abortion with an undetected STI increases your risk for infection during the procedure and may lead to Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) which can affect future reproductive health [2,3].

4. Be informed about abortion risks & complications

You deserve to be fully informed. Before making a decision, it’s important to understand how each abortion procedure is performed, how it will affect your body, and what complications and risks are possible.  

 

What are the types of abortion?

Surgical abortion

In a surgical abortion, a suction device is used to remove the embryo from the uterus through the vagina. This procedure is performed at an abortion clinic and you are sent home the same day. 

Abortion Pill

Although it’s referred to as a pill, the abortion pill actually consists of two medications: mifepristone and misoprostol. It is used to end a pregnancy up to 10 weeks gestation.
