Our experienced team understands the challenges of accessing reproductive health services in Georgia, so we focus on making your experience as comfortable, private, and supportive as possible.
Your Choice: Safe and Supportive Medical Abortion Care
At Meadow Reproductive Health, our mission is to empower you with knowledge and compassionate care throughout your journey. We offer medical abortion services (often called the abortion pill) for pregnancies up to 11 weeks from your last menstrual period. If you are unsure about your exact timing, our online pregnancy calculator can help you estimate gestational age and see if you qualify for this method.
Medication abortion is a safe, effective, and non-invasive way to end an early pregnancy. Our protocol uses two medications—mifepristone and misoprostol—taken in sequence. The first is typically taken at our clinic, and the second is used in the comfort of your own space. Our caring staff provides clear instructions and support every step of the way, so you feel confident and informed.
