I Want An Abortion - Alcove Health Women's Clinic Newport News

I want an abortion - what do I do?

There are some important questions to consider before you schedule your abortion

Are you considering a decision on how to move forward with an unplanned pregnancy? The internet is the likely place to go for information today, and we are so glad you found us. No matter where you are with your decision, this is a good time to slow down and consider a few important steps you may want to take before you seek an abortion. If you want an abortion, the very first step is to confirm your pregnancy with a lab-grade pregnancy test, which you can get at Alcove Health Women’s Clinic. You can click HERE to make an appointment for safe, confidential services and accurate information. If you’d like some questions answered first, you can CALL US.

There are probably a lot of thoughts in your mind right now. You have a lot to think about. Here are some important questions to consider before you schedule your abortion:

  • Is the pregnancy viable and, if so, how far along are you? Unfortunately, an over-the-counter pregnancy test won’t tell you the age or location of the pregnancy. An ultrasound can confirm the pregnancy, tell you how far along you are, and determine if the pregnancy is in the uterus. If the pregnancy is not in the uterus, it needs further medical evaluation. If you want an abortion, knowing the age of your pregnancy will inform you of the types of abortion that are available to you. During your appointment at Alcove Health, you will be able to ask confidential questions of one of our nurses and receive abortion education. The team at Alcove Health wants to ensure you walk into any decision you make with as much information as possible.
  • Where are you getting your information and advice? Internet advice is readily available. You can even get advice from strangers across continents. The question is, Should you? I am sure you have seen a friend or family member airing their public drama on social media and thought to yourself, “Please take it offline.” Seeking advice online on how to proceed with a decision so personal and so deeply emotional as an unplanned pregnancy can be dangerous and emotionally harmful. It is a decision that calls for time to thoughtfully decide how and from whom to get information. After all, if you want an abortion, you want to be confident that you want it for you. You have a trusted resource in Alcove Health, with our trained client advocates and registered nurses.
  • What are your options? If you are pregnant and unsure where to start with processing this decision or what your options are, it may be a good idea to process your situation with one of our trained client advocates. Alcove Health Women’s Clinic is here to help you navigate this decision. Not only will you have access to registered nurses, ultrasounds, and pregnancy tests, but you will also have one of our fully trained client advocates to help you weigh the pros and cons of abortion, adoption and parenting.
  • How can this decision impact your future? Making a difficult decision that can impact your present as well as your future can be daunting. Your immediate thoughts may be how to improve your current situation, not how it will look a year from now, or even 20 years from now. If you want an abortion, you owe it to yourself to take some time to process your options, consider the future, and get factual information before making a final decision. Circumstances and perspectives can change quickly and a year from now can look very different. This is a decision that will have a lifelong impact.

No matter where you are in this decision, we are here for you and we want to help you with no judgement. Click here or call us today to request your free and confidential appointment with Alcove Health. You’ll get accurate information and sound counsel, face to face from a woman just like you.
