Safeguard Your Health
Before making a final decision regarding your pregnancy, the first thing you should do after receiving a positive test result is to confirm your pregnancy through an ultrasound.
At Hopeline, we can offer a free, limited, obstetrical ultrasound to confirm pregnancy, how far along you are, and determine if your pregnancy is healthy and progressing. Our staff can help you understand the facts and risks associated with each type of abortion procedure and any other options.
Get the Facts
The type of abortion available to you depends on how far along you are. There are two major types of abortion: medical abortion (the abortion pill) and surgical abortion. Only women up to 70 days gestation are eligible for a medical abortion.
According to the Mayo Clinic, some of the major physical risks of medical abortion include:
- Incomplete abortion
- Infection
- Heavy and prolonged bleeding
- Fever
- Digestive system discomfort
The Mayo Clinic shares the risks of surgical abortion, including:
- Perforation of the uterus
- Damage to the cervix
- Heavy bleeding
- Cramping
- Scar tissue on the uterine wall
- Infection
