Early Surgical Abortion

Early Surgical Abortion

A first trimester abortion is considered to be an “early surgical abortion”.

An early surgical abortion procedure is performed by vacuum aspiration on pregnancies up to detection of fetal heartbeat.

The abortion procedure involves removing the pregnancy by vacuum aspiration, the most widely used and safest method of abortion.

You should be able to return to normal, non-strenuous activities the following day. We are available 24/7 for emergencies.

A 2-3 hour outpatient stay at our office can be anticipated.

What to expect 

Length of pregnancy will be confirmed by ultrasound in our office. An early surgical abortion is performed with the patient either asleep (pain free) or awake. Patients that are awake will receive a local anesthesia.

In order to have asleep anesthesia, you MUST have an adult to assist you in safely getting home. You will not be able to drive or work for 24 hours after the intravenous medication.

Counseling 

Counseling is included in the procedure fee and will help a woman explore her feelings regarding her pregnancy and the alternatives available to her. Counselors discuss birth control, post-operative care, and the abortion procedure.
