At BsideU for Life, we understand that life doesn’t always turn out the way you thought it would. Our compassionate medical staff are here to help guide you through your decision.
Abortion clinics charge for their pregnancy confirmation services and push for services that will be profitable for the clinic. We at BsideU for Life offer a confidential place to confirm if you are pregnant with a free pregnancy test and an ultrasound exam, and we provide an unhurried setting to get all your questions answered about your pregnancy choices. We will never profit off your decision, all our services are free and confidential.
Getting an ultrasound before an abortion is advised because you will need to determine the gestational age of your pregnancy to know what type of abortion you need and verify your pregnancy. An ultrasound can determine if your body is preparing for a miscarriage.
You should have a pregnancy test as well as STI/STD testing and treatment.
This depends on the type of abortion you get. If you get a medical abortion, you will be taking two different medications. One pill stops the pregnancy from continuing to develop, and the other pill expels the pregnancy tissue from your body.
If you get a surgical abortion, a doctor must insert a speculum into the vagina to examine your uterus. Your cervix will be stretched open with dilators either before or during the procedure. Next, the doctor will insert a tube through the cervix into the uterus, which is attached to a suction device. This will empty the uterus. Alternatively, the doctor may use surgical instruments to remove the pregnancy.
Pain and discomfort levels vary from woman to woman. Some women experience the physical side effect of severe cramping, fever, vomiting, chills, etc.
Additionally, some of the emotional and psychological side effects don’t always present themselves until much later.
You can expect to experience light to heavy vaginal bleeding accompanied by cramping for about two weeks. However, if you continue to have bleeding and cramping for more than two weeks, you should seek medical attention.
More severe side effects, which need medical attention:
The average cost of an abortion in the US in the first trimester is approximately $500. Second-trimester abortions average $1,500. However, abortion costs tend to be higher in states where abortion is more restricted.
