Our dedicated medical professionals are here to guide you through the process with support, privacy, and understanding every step of the way.
What is Medical Abortion?
A medical abortion, often referred to as the abortion pill, is a non-surgical method for ending a pregnancy. It involves taking a combination of two medications, mifepristone and misoprostol, that work together to end the pregnancy. Medical abortion is a safe and commonly used method for those who are under 11 weeks of pregnancy. At Meadow Reproductive Health & Wellness, we ensure that our patients receive the highest level of care, attention, and counseling throughout the process.
How Does the Medical Abortion Process Work?
The process of a medical abortion begins with a consultation at Meadow Reproductive Health & Wellness, where our medical staff will assess your health and confirm the pregnancy through ultrasound. Once confirmed, you will be provided with the first medication, mifepristone, which is taken orally at the clinic. This medication works by blocking the hormone progesterone, which is needed for the pregnancy to continue.
The second medication, misoprostol, is typically taken 24-48 hours later, either at home or in a clinical setting, depending on your specific care plan. Misoprostol causes the uterus to contract and expel the pregnancy. This process usually involves cramping and bleeding, similar to a heavy period, and can last for several hours.
