On the day of your appointment you will be meeting with a female counselor, trained in women's health and psychology. She will answer all your questions about abortions, and discuss any personal issues you may have surrounding your decision. During this time you will also have an opportunity to discuss birth control issues, and sign consent forms detailing the medical services. Our supportive, caring staff will remain with you throughout the day assisting you in every way possible. Statistically, it is nine times more dangerous to go through childbirth.
Abortion is the safest outpatient procedure there is.
Of course, all medical procedures carry some risks. These will be carefully reviewed with you during your counseling session. The administration of local anesthesia will serve to numb the cervix. You will feel some discomfort, like bad period cramps, during the time of actual abortion. If you choose general anesthesia, our anesthesiologist will administer Brevitol through an IV which will put you to sleep.
