There are two main types of abortion: Medical abortion and Surgical abortion.
Medical abortion involves the use of medication to end a pregnancy. This method is usually only an option for pregnancies up to 10 weeks along. The process is very similar to having a miscarriage.
Surgical abortion is a minor procedure and can be done up to 15 weeks of pregnancy.
While medical abortion is generally considered safe and effective, there are certain individuals who may not be good candidates for this method. Women who are unable to follow up with necessary appointments or who do not have access to emergency medical care in case of complications should not use this method. Women who desire a quick resolution to their abortion or who do not wish to be involved in the abortion process may also not be good candidates for medical abortion. Additionally, women facing language or comprehension barriers in communication with the provider should give a second thought.
The experience of having an abortion can vary greatly depending on the method used, the individual’s physical and emotional health, and the stage of the pregnancy. Women who choose a medical abortion will usually begin to feel cramps and bleeding within a few hours of taking the second medication. This process usually takes a week to complete, and women may experience bleeding similar to a period. Recovery time is usually minimal, and most women can resume normal activities the next day. It is important to have a support system in place and to follow all instructions from doctors and healthcare providers.
