If you are considering abortion, take the time to go through our abortion safety checklist to ensure you are healthy and prepared:
1. Confirm Your Pregnancy
Did you know that a pregnancy test alone does not medically confirm your pregnancy? Medical confirmation can be provided through an ultrasound. An ultrasound shows how far along you are, which determines the abortion procedures you qualify for.
2. Get Tested and Treated for STI/STDs
If you have an abortion with an untreated STI/STD, you are at increased risk for pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) which can result in future infertility or chronic pain. Options Baltimore @328 offers no-cost STI/STD testing and treatment to ensure your health.
3. Understand the Risks
As with any medical procedure, there are a number of risks associated with abortion. Whether you are considering a medical or surgical abortion, you need to be prepared by understanding the short and long-term risks. We encourage you to come in and speak with our medical staff to learn more about these risks.
4. Consider the Alternatives
5. Pause and Ask
When faced with such an important decision it is beneficial to pause and be able to address your concerns. No matter what you choose for your unexpected pregnancy, we encourage you to visit the Options Baltimore @ 328 and get answers to your questions so you can be confident in the decision you make.
