First Trimester Abortion Procedures - Complete Your Care in One Visit
If you are seeking a first trimester abortion procedure, you can have everything done in one, single office visit of a few hours. This includes your intake counseling, ultrasound, lab work, final counseling, pre-procedure medication, observation, consultation with a licensed clinician, physical examination, administration of anesthesia (either local or asleep), the procedure itself, post-op recovery, and follow-up instructions with contact information.
In-person first trimester procedures are almost always able to be done in one day. This is great option for women who want to “get it over and done with”. And it is particularly valuable for women traveling from states where abortion is restricted or illegal. This option allows such women to travel to Virginia where abortion is legal, have a legal abortion, and return home no longer pregnant – and all of it can be accomplished in a single day-trip. You can leave home in the morning pregnant, have the abortion, and return home later that day no longer pregnant. No waiting. No worrying. All done safely, simply, legally, and fast.

Comfort Options—Including Being Asleep
We understand that many women are concerned about discomfort.
You have options:

You can discuss these options with your provider to choose what is right for you.
