Abortion - AnswersHow long will I be at the Clinic on the day of the operation? This will depend on which procedure you have. It could be anything from a couple of hours up to around 7 hours. This will be discussed at your consultation. Is the consultation necessary if I already know what I want to do? Yes, there is a legal requirement that you see a patient advisor and a doctor, and two doctors’ signatures are necessary on the relevant forms. Do I have to be examined internally? Not usually: however if a scan is unclear or is unavailable an internal examination would then be necessary. Will the patient advisor try to talk me out of it? No: the patient advisors are trained to listen to you, provide information and support and never judge you or ask you to justify your reasons for wanting an abortion. What if I am breastfeeding? If you have an early medical, it is recommended that you stop breastfeeding for 14 days from the first day of treatment. If you have a general anaesthetic surgical, please wait 24 hours after the anaesthetic before starting breastfeeding again. |
