Terminations - Procedure
What to expect
Expect to be with us for approximately 2 hours. All care is taken to allocate a specific time for you in order to minimise waiting times. On the day of your appointment, you will be asked to complete some simple questionnaires regarding your general health and feelings surrounding the pregnancy.
You will also have an opportunity to read some comprehensive information about the procedure of termination of pregnancy. You will then have a consultation with the doctor performing the procedure. For confidentiality reasons, the consultation is conducted with only you and the doctor.
The doctor will take a medical history and conduct an ultrasound to determine where the pregnancy is and to make sure it corresponds with your dates. You will not hear or see the ultrasound unless you request to do so. The doctor will discuss with you any social, emotional or physical issues you may have and refer you for any further counselling, if required. Information on contraception will be available. You are absolutely under no obligation to proceed to the termination of pregnancy. The doctor will discuss your options with you.
Afterwards, when you are in recovery, you will be given written information about possible complications and expectations after the procedure. Contact numbers are located at the base of the written information. If you have any concerns at all, please call us. We are available 24 hours per day on the clinic numbers.
