Voluntary termination of pregnancy

What happens before an abortion

What happens in the first consultation, how the assessment is carried out and how to prepare for the appointment.

The preparation is not the same for all methods. After making the appointment you will receive adapted instructions; Do not follow generic instructions on the internet if they contradict what the team has given you.

The first consultation

We will collect relevant background information, answer questions and confirm the gestation period. The examination, ultrasound or tests that the team considers necessary will be performed. The available options, their differences and follow-up will also be explained.

Consent and information

Before any procedure you will receive understandable information about its purpose, development, alternatives and possible risks. You will have time to ask questions and you will be able to withdraw your consent before the intervention. The decision must be yours and free of pressure.

How to prepare

Indications depend on the method and whether sedation will be used. The team will confirm if you must come on an empty stomach, what usual medication you can take, if you need a companion and how much time you should reserve.

  • Bring the documentation that has been indicated to you.
  • Communicate allergies, illnesses and usual medications.
  • Don't hide clinical information for fear of being judged.
  • Only follow the instructions received for your appointment.

Safety first

Do not use home remedies or medication without health indications. If you have taken any product on your own, inform the team: knowing it helps to take care of yourself safely and confidentially.
