Facing an unexpected pregnancy can feel overwhelming, and you may have a lot of questions as you consider your options. If you’re thinking about abortion, it’s essential to make sure you have all the information you need to make the best decision for your health and future.
Here are three essential steps to take before moving forward.
1. Get a Lab-Quality Pregnancy Test
While at-home pregnancy tests are generally reliable, errors can happen. Testing too early, misreading the results, or using an expired test could lead to inaccurate outcomes.
To ensure your pregnancy is confirmed, you can get a lab-quality pregnancy test from us at Today’s Choice Women’s Center. This will give you peace of mind and allow you to get the highest accuracy.
2. Get an Ultrasound
An ultrasound provides critical details about your pregnancy. It helps determine how far along you are, which can affect the abortion options available to you.
It also checks the location of the pregnancy to ensure it’s not ectopic (located outside the uterus), which requires immediate medical attention.
Lastly, an ultrasound confirms the viability of the pregnancy. Since 26% of pregnancies end in miscarriage, knowing if your pregnancy is viable is crucial before making any decisions.
3. Understand the Risks
As with any serious medical procedure, it’s important to fully understand the risks associated with abortion. There are two types of abortion procedures: medical and surgical. Medical abortion risks and surgical abortion risks differ, and you’ll want to carefully consider them before seeking one.
There are also emotional risks to consider, as some women may experience feelings of grief or regret afterward.
Understanding these risks will help you make a decision that prioritizes both your physical and emotional well-being.
