If you think you might be pregnant, you need answers to make the best decision for you. Bella Women’s Center is here to give you the facts you need.

As with any medical procedure, before choosing an abortion, there is valuable information to consider before proceeding. Our trained medical team at Bella can provide you with the following:

1. Free Pregnancy Testing

Your first step is to ensure that you are pregnant. While potential pregnancy symptoms may be helpful indicators, they can also be symptoms of sickness or an upcoming period.

When taken correctly, urine pregnancy tests can be 99% accurate. At Bella Women’s Center, we will guide you through self-administered pregnancy testing to ensure accuracy.

2. Obstetric Ultrasound

If your test is positive, you may qualify for a free ultrasound. An ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to show an image of the inside of the uterus.

An ultrasound can tell you how far along you are in your pregnancy. Since the FDA has only approved medical abortion (i.e., the abortion pill) through ten weeks of gestation, this is crucial information.

Ultrasounds can also determine if the pregnancy has implanted inside the uterus. Ectopic pregnancies, which develop outside the uterus, require immediate medical assistance to prevent life-threatening complications.

The third detail that ultrasounds can detect is if the pregnancy is progressing with a heartbeat. Since about 10 to 20% of known pregnancies end in miscarriage (most of those in the first trimester), this is valuable information.

3. The Risks and Side Effects of Abortion

Every type of drug and medical procedure has risks and side effects. The same is true for abortion.

At Bella Women’s Center, we will discuss the different procedures, the side effects, and the risks involved. You need to know the facts!
