Understanding Second Trimester Abortion Care
Second trimester abortion, sometimes called a 2nd Trimester Abortion, typically refers to procedures performed from 18 to 25 weeks of pregnancy. At VAG Clinic, this care is provided through an in-clinic method known as Dilation and Evacuation (D&E), which is recognized for its safety and effectiveness.
What to Expect During Your Visit
Our process is designed to keep you informed and comfortable at every stage. Here’s what you can expect:
- Consultation and Ultrasound: Your care begins with a confidential consultation and ultrasound to confirm gestational age and review your medical history.
- Preparation: We prepare the cervix using medications and/or gentle dilators, usually on the same day as your procedure.
- Procedure: The D&E procedure itself typically takes 15-20 minutes. Your provider will numb the cervix, use gentle suction and specialized instruments to safely complete the abortion, and offer pain management throughout.
- Recovery: After the procedure, you’ll rest in our recovery area with caring staff by your side before you’re discharged with complete aftercare instructions.
We understand traveling for care can be stressful. Our team coordinates with each patient to minimize time spent away from home, and we provide resources to help with travel and accommodations.
The Benefits of In-Clinic Surgical Abortion
For pregnancies between 18 and 25 weeks, in-clinic abortion offers several important benefits:
- High safety and efficacy, even in later gestations
- Careful monitoring by experienced clinicians throughout the process
- Access to a full range of medical support and emotional counseling
- One or two-visit scheduling to fit your needs and minimize travel burden
Our Surgical Abortion services are performed in a private, welcoming setting, with your dignity and comfort as our highest priorities.
