Medical Abortions 101Video Description:Pregnant and unprepared to give birth - or to deal with a crowded clinic? Here are the no-judgement facts on having a medical abortion at home. Transcript:The decision to end a pregnancy can be a difficult one.  Some people find that having an abortion at home may make things easier.  A woman who is more than nine weeks pregnant must surgically terminate a pregnancy, which is more common than a medication induced abortion.  But prior to week nine, a medication induced termination—where a woman takes medication which will cause her pregnancy to cease—is an option. Generally, a woman takes the medication which actually causes the pregnancy to terminate in her doctor’s office.  Then, after she goes home, she inserts a different medication into her vagina which softens her cervix and causes it to contract and empty.  This results in heavy bleeding and tissue discharge, which is the abortion. A woman who has a medication termination often experiences painful cramping and may feel nauseous.  For this reason, doctors will often prescribe a pain killer, as well.  Medication abortions are 96 percent effective, so you must return to the doctor for a follow-up visit to ensure that the pregnancy has been terminated.  That’s because any remaining tissue can make a future pregnancy impossible. Post-termination, you may experience a wide range of confusing emotions—so take advantage of the counseling referrals offered by most clinics.
