Option for a Woman Who had Unplanned Pregnancy • Medical Abortion • Surgical Abortion
Medical Abortion “abortion pill” A medical abortion involves taking a prescription medicine called “Mifepristone” which is also called the “abortion pill”. The pill is used to end an early pregnancy. It works by blocking progesterone, the hormone that builds up the lining of a women’s uterus during pregnancy. Without progesterone, the lining of the uterus is unable to hold a pregnancy. As the lining of the uterus breaks down, bleeding occurs. The abortion pill can only be used up to 49 days after the first day of the last period (or 9 weeks). It’s about 97% effective.
Surgical Abortion A surgical abortion is a procedure that terminates a pregnancy, which is typically performed up to 16 weeks after the pregnant woman’s last period. A doctor or advanced practice nurse usually performs the procedure in an out-patient office or clinic, or hospital.
Many young women find it useful to talk with a trusted adult about the decision to terminate a pregnancy. For teens, this is usually a parent or other relative; sometimes a counsellor, nurse or your primary care provider is the first person you talk to when you find out about the pregnancy. Many clinics offer free counselling if you have a positive pregnancy test. In this important stage A Woman’s Haven can guide you to take right step for you future.
