Understanding Second Trimester Abortion
The second trimester typically refers to the period from week 13 to week 26 of pregnancy. If you are between 18 and 25 weeks, you may be eligible for a surgical abortion known as Dilation and Evacuation (D&E). This method is considered safe, effective, and is performed by our expert providers in a supportive environment.
