Please know your own state of mind, and read what follows only if it will be helpful to you. There are several types of abortions that are currently available in the United States. This type of abortion is available until 12 or 14 weeks after your last period. The procedure itself takes only about five or ten minutes, but you will need to be at the clinic for several hours. You may have to wait in the waiting room for a while, but eventually, you have a series of simple medical tests, including a urine test to see if you are definitely pregnant and a standard blood pressure check.
Most clinics also offer counseling prior to the abortion.
This is a very important step. The counseling session is also meant to help you figure out if you are sure that you want to have the abortion. The actual procedure is performed in a room like a doctor's office. If you want to bring a friend in to hold your hand during the abortion, you should ask if this is permitted. Some clinics allow it.
