Understanding 3rd Trimester Abortion: The Induction Process

Third trimester abortions, typically performed between 26 and 34 weeks, are most often chosen due to severe fetal anomalies, maternal health risks, or life-changing personal reasons. At VAG Clinic, the main method for a 3rd trimester abortion is a gentle, multi-day induction abortion process.

  1. Day 1: Upon arrival, you will meet your care team and receive oral medications to begin softening the cervix. Osmotic dilators are carefully placed to start the dilation process.
  2. Day 2: Additional medications and dilators may be provided to ensure your comfort and continued progress.
  3. Day 3: Once dilation is sufficient, the abortion procedure is completed under sedation. Our team keeps you comfortable and supported throughout.

We tailor every step to your unique needs, offering grief support and emotional resources along the way. Our approach is evidence-based, centering your safety and wellbeing. If you are considering a Late Term Abortion, you can trust our team to provide thorough, nonjudgmental guidance.
