Safe Abortions

A pregnancy can be terminated using either a medical or surgical process. The correct process for your termination will depend on the stage of your pregnancy as well as your preference. Connect women clinic offers both types of safe abortion procedures: mostly the medical abortion procedure.

The medical procedure can only be used if you are less than 9 weeks pregnant. The abortion is performed by using a combination of two medications which work together to terminate the pregnancy. The first medication blocks the hormone called progesterone. Without progesterone the pregnancy will not be sustained. The second medication opens the cervix (mouth of the womb) and causes the uterus (womb) to contract, this will cause the pregnancy to be expelled. After you take the medication, the process is completed at home.
