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.
