abortion is 11 times safer than carrying a pregnancy to term and nearly twice
as safe as a penicillin injection.
Will having an abortion prevent me from having children in the future?:
There is no evidence of childbearing problems among women who have had an
abortion early in their pregnancy. Of course, as with any outpatient
surgery, part of the long-term effects are in your hands. Taking all
your medications, following instructions, and returning for your follow-up
examination will reduce your chance of long-term side effects. If you
are concerned about this risk, do not hesitate to ask your provider about
it and they will be able to answer your questions more specifically.
Is an abortion painful?:
Every person tolerates pain differently. Abortion patients are generally
surprised at how well they feel physically after their abortion. Most
women experience some hard cramping during the procedure. Individuals
may feel cramping that can be managed with pain medications afterwards. During
a medical abortion, one can experience more intense cramping for longer periods
of time. Pain relievers may help manage the discomfort. Women typically
describe the medical abortion as feeling similar to the process of a miscarriage.
In other words a period of abdominal cramping and the passage of tissue and
blood soaking several pads.
You should discuss pain management with your health care provider. The vast majority of women do not experience severe pain during their procedure due to the availability of anesthetic agents which can diminish the discomfort of the procedure.
