medical abortion

We also offer the option of medical abortion if you are less than 9 weeks pregnant.

Medical abortion is a method of terminating a pregnancy using medication instead of a surgical procedure, and it has been recommended by experts as an effective and safe method of terminating early stage pregnancies.*

Medical abortion is an alternative to surgical termination and both have unique advantages and disadvantages. These include the time taken to complete the procedure, the number of clinic visits required, effectiveness, side effects and complications.

As with surgical abortion, you will have consultations with a nurse and a doctor who will explain the process to you in full along with any side-effects you can expect from the medications and give you the opportunity to ask any questions. You can still change your mind at this stage and decide not to proceed or to have a surgical termination instead.

Your choice may depend on the gestation of your pregnancy, your general health, the support you may have from family and friends and, naturally, your personal preferences.
