Understanding the 3rd Trimester Abortion Process

Third trimester abortion, also known as induction abortion or late term abortion, is a specialized medical procedure typically performed between 26 and 34 weeks of pregnancy. At VAG Clinic, this service is usually completed over three days, with preparation and support every step of the way.

What to Expect at Our Abortion Clinic

Our induction abortion method is designed to be gentle, safe, and tailored to your unique medical needs. Here is an overview of the process:

  1. Day One: You’ll meet with our medical team, receive oral medications to soften the cervix, and osmotic dilators may be placed for dilation.
  2. Day Two: Additional cervical preparation and monitoring by our caring staff.
  3. Day Three: After sufficient dilation, you’ll receive sedation for comfort while the uterus is safely emptied. Support persons are welcome during much of the process, so you never feel alone.

Our care doesn’t end with the procedure. We offer ongoing counseling, resources, and referrals to help you heal physically and emotionally.
