A simple and accurate test can tell if you're pregnant right after you miss a period. Don't wait to find out. It is very important that your pregnancy be confirmed early. If you are pregnant and don't know what to do, your doctor or a FPWA counsellor can talk over your choices with you. The counsellor will help you look at all these choices so you can decide what is right for you.
Counselling is completely confidential .
If you decide to have an abortion, a referral can then be made at a time when the risk of complications is at its lowest, up to 12 weeks from the first day of your last normal period. This is a safe, simple, low risk procedure. Abortions are performed at special clinics and hospitals. You will need to see your own doctor or a Family Planning doctor to discuss the risks associated with abortion and with pregnancy before you can be referred for an abortion. Sometimes special arrangements can be made.
