Considering abortion as one of your pregnancy options?
Prior to making any decisions about your pregnancy, you need to know the details of your pregnancy that can only be provided through ultrasound. An ultrasound is used to date the pregnancy, determine the location, and check for viability vs. miscarriage.
As it is with any medical procedure, you need to be aware of the process, possible risks, complications, alternatives, and aftercare prior to moving forward. Schedule a medical screening before your abortion with Paulding Pregnancy Services to get all the information you need.

the different types of abortion
Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy and is performed using one of two primary methods, medical (chemical) and surgical. A medical abortion can be started in the clinic or at home, while a surgical abortion is performed in-clinic by an abortion provider.
Which method you choose can only be determined by how far along you are in your pregnancy. Visit Paulding Pregnancy Services for a no-cost ultrasound.
