Your Surgical Abortion Process

- Pain Management & Sedation: Our staff will discuss your sedation options and ensure you’re comfortable before, during, and after your procedure.
- The Procedure: Depending on gestational age, you may have a one- or two-day process. For D&E, the cervix is gently dilated and the uterus is emptied using safe, evidence-based techniques. Most procedures last 15–20 minutes.
- Recovery: You’ll rest in our private recovery area, with staff monitoring your wellbeing and providing aftercare instructions.
