Why Talk to us About Abortion? 

If you’re facing an unplanned pregnancy, you may feel like abortion is your only option. 

Before making your final decision, it’s important to consider the physical and mental health risks of an abortion. 

Because each woman’s pregnancy is different, it is essential to be evaluated individually to determine the best options for your health and body.  

Lifeline Pregnancy Center offers nonjudgmental support and provides services such as no-cost, medical-grade pregnancy tests and referrals to an onsite medical clinic for limited ultrasounds so that you can learn more about your pregnancy and your options. 

Learning More About Your Pregnancy

While at-home pregnancy tests are typically accurate, it is possible to receive false positives. For this reason, it is vital to confirm your pregnancy with a medical-grade pregnancy test.

After confirming your pregnancy, a follow-up ultrasound scan will provide you with valuable information necessary to make a pregnancy decision. 

Ultrasounds measure the pregnancy to reveal the gestational age, which helps determine your eligibility for the abortion pill. According to the FDA, the abortion pill should not be used after 10 weeks of pregnancy. 

An ultrasound can also examine the location of the pregnancy and ensure that it has implanted inside the uterus. When a pregnancy has been implanted outside the uterus, it is known as an ectopic pregnancy and requires immediate medical intervention. 

Having an ultrasound scan will also determine if the pregnancy is viable. If there is no evidence of a viable pregnancy and you have miscarried, you may need additional medical assistance, or you may be able to pass the pregnancy at home.

Understanding the Risks 

Along with having an ultrasound scan to learn more about your unique pregnancy, our trusted staff is available to help you understand any specific risks you may encounter with abortion.

Some health conditions may make you ineligible for the procedure. That is why consulting with a healthcare professional before an abortion is critical for your safety. 

General risks of the abortion pill include: 

  • Incomplete abortion, which may require follow-up surgical abortion
  • Heavy and prolonged bleeding
  • Infection
  • Fever
  • Digestive discomfort

Risks of surgical abortion include:

  • Perforation of the uterus
  • Damage to the cervix
  • Scar tissue on the uterine wall
  • Infection
