Understanding 3rd Trimester Abortion Services

3rd trimester abortions generally refer to procedures performed after 26 weeks of pregnancy. At VAG Clinic, the most common method is induction abortion, which is a safe, carefully managed process. This procedure typically spans 2–3 days and is designed to ensure your comfort and well-being throughout.

During your initial visit, our team will review your medical history and discuss your options. The process involves preparing the cervix with medication and osmotic dilators over one or two days. On the final day, the uterus is gently emptied in a controlled clinical setting, with sedation and support provided throughout.

  • Day 1: Intake, counseling, and cervical preparation
  • Day 2: Additional dilation and ongoing support
  • Day 3: Completion of the procedure with full monitoring

We also provide grief support and specialized counseling for those undergoing termination for medical reasons, ensuring you have access to all the emotional care you may need.
