Pre-Operative Health Check
When you visit A Woman’s Choice for a safe
abortion, we first take your medical history so
we can be aware of any medical conditions and
allergies you might have. We check your vital
signs and take your weight. Convenient,
accurate, state-of-the-art laboratory testing
will be conducted to screen you for anemia and
determine your blood type.
If you have not verified your pregnancy prior to
your visit, please notify us so we can run a
FREE pregnancy test. We will perform a sonogram
to measure your pregnancy and to detect any
gynecological conditions that may affect the
procedure. Our warm, courteous professional
healthcare team will educate each patient
extensively on the benefits, risks of the
procedure and options to the procedure.
After your work-up, you will be given medication
to help you relax and to decrease nausea (if you
desire). If you desire sedation, please bring a
driver with you who will remain at our facility
the entire time you are here. After sedation,
you will not be able to drive safely for several
hours.
Please be aware that an abortion procedure is
not a simple one-step act, but a series of steps
which lead up to a complex medical procedure.
So, for quality care, and as with all surgeries,
expect to be at our facility for 2 to 3 hours
prior to the procedure for diagnostic testing,
education and pre-medication. The entire process
is usually completed, from your arrival to your
dismissal from the recovery room, in one 3-to-4
hour visit.
