Procedures

  • Ultrasound is performed for everyone to “date” the pregnancy.
  • Medical abortion is an effective means of ending pregnancies less than nine weeks by taking medications, which avoids surgery.
  • Surgical abortion is the traditional method of ending a pregnancy. It is very safe and effective. It may be performed for any patient up to thirteen weeks gestation.
  • General anesthesia is the method of anesthesia in which you are “put to sleep”. This is available. Once you have discussed this with our clinician we will perform your procedure in a surgical center.
  • IV sedation is a combination of sedative pills taken before a procedure, and then pain medication injected into the vein just before the procedure, to promote relaxation and pain relief.
  • Laminaria placement may be required the day before a surgical procedure to dilate the cervix.
  • Misoprostol Dilation Misoprostol is a drug that belongs to the prostaglandin family of drugs. It has been available for many years to treat stomach ulcers. Misoprostol can also soften the cervix and cause it to dilate, making a surgical procedure easier, less painful and safer.
  • Early Pregnancy Complications such as spontaneous miscarriage, fetal demise, FDIU.
  • Urine Pregnancy Test:  A urine pregnancy test is performed for all patients.
  • The morning after pill is medication taken within 72 hours after unprotected intercourse or condom failure to prevent pregnancy.
  • Blood Type: Regardless of your choice of procedure your blood type must verified. If your blood type is Rh negative you will receive either MICRhoGAM or RhoGAM. MICRhoGAM will be administered to all patients under 12 weeks gestation and patients who are over 12 weeks gestation will receive full RhoGAM dose.
