If you are experiencing an unplanned pregnancy, you may be considering abortion. Before you book an appointment for an abortion procedure, make sure you are fully informed about the procedure and the process of getting an abortion. We recommend consulting with medical professionals, like those at Bella Women’s Center in Warren.
Only you know what’s best for you—we believe that. We’re dedicated to providing you with updated information about abortion laws and procedures and support that can help you make an educated decision about what’s best in your unique situation.
There are a few steps you need to take before an abortion procedure:
Before you take any steps towards an abortion, you need to ensure that you are actually pregnant. Even if you have taken a pregnancy test at home, it is a good idea to have a medical-grade pregnancy test administered by a pregnancy ultrasound clinic. If you are in the Warren area, you can visit our medical center and receive testing from one of our trained staff members.
Gestational age determines what kind of abortion services you are eligible to receive by law. It can also affect the costs and possible side effects. We will accurately date your pregnancy through an ultrasound exam, and from there provide information on which types of abortion procedures are available to you.
It is important to receive STD testing before having an abortion procedure. The presence of a Sexually Transmitted Infection, or STI, when you have an abortion can negatively affect your long-term reproductive health. It significantly increases your chance of contracting Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID), which can cause chronic pelvic pain and infertility. We offer free, confidential STD testing and treatment on-site for patients with a positive pregnancy test.
We’re here to help by providing as much information as we can to inform your decision—you decide what’s best for you. Schedule a pre-abortion consultation with our caring and supportive team.
