What Is a Third Trimester Abortion?

A third trimester abortion, sometimes referred to as a late term abortion or induction abortion, is a medical procedure that ends a pregnancy after 26 weeks gestation. This option is often sought due to severe fetal anomalies, maternal health risks, or significant changes in pregnancy circumstances. At VAG Clinic, we provide this care with sensitivity and medical excellence, ensuring you have the information and resources you need.

The Induction Abortion Process: What to Expect

Induction abortion is a multi-step process designed to be as safe and comfortable as possible. Our team will guide you through each stage, answer your questions, and offer emotional and medical support throughout your stay.

  1. Initial Consultation: We begin with a comprehensive evaluation and counseling session to review your medical history and discuss procedure details.
  2. Cervical Preparation: Over the first two days, medications and dilators are used to gently prepare the cervix for the procedure.
  3. Procedure Day: On the final day, the uterus is safely emptied, and sedation ensures comfort. Aftercare and recovery support are provided on-site.

Most patients complete the process in three days, though some may require a shorter or slightly longer stay depending on individual needs.
