Understanding the 2nd Trimester Abortion Process
Second trimester abortions, typically performed between 18 and 25 weeks gestation, are most commonly done using a procedure known as dilation and evacuation (D&E). This method is recognized as the safest and most effective for pregnancies in this range. At VAG Clinic, your safety, comfort, and privacy are always our top priorities.
What to Expect During Your Visit
- First Visit: You will meet with our medical team for a thorough evaluation, including an ultrasound and lab work. We will discuss your health history, answer your questions, and begin preparing your body for the procedure, often using oral medications and/or gentle cervical dilators.
- Procedure Day: On your second visit, our experienced physicians will perform the surgical abortion. The procedure usually takes 15-20 minutes, using gentle suction and specialized instruments. Pain relief options, including mild to moderate sedation, are available at no extra cost.
- Recovery & Aftercare: We monitor your recovery closely and provide detailed aftercare instructions. Our support team is available for any questions or concerns once you return home to Brownsville, TX.
