1.

The stage of your pregnancy.

You must know how far along your pregnancy is before having a surgical abortion or taking the abortion pill. For example, the abortion pill is only effective during the first ten weeks of pregnancy.

2.

The location of your pregnancy.

Knowing the location of your pregnancy will determine if abortion is an option for you. If you have an ectopic pregnancy (your pregnancy is outside your uterus), you should receive medical care and direction immediately. Abortion pills are not safe for you.

Her Choice Birmingham offers free pregnancy ultrasounds to help determine if you can get an abortion. To get a free pregnancy ultrasound at Her Choice Birmingham, complete the online form, call us at (205) 252-0706 or text (205) 234-2448.

3.

The viability of your pregnancy.

Depending on the viability of your pregnancy, there may be no reason to have a surgical or medical abortion (abortion pills are also known as medical abortion or chemical abortion). Her Choice Birmingham provides no-cost pregnancy ultrasounds to determine the viability of your pregnancy.

4.

Your personal health in relation to abortion procedures.

There are health conditions you should tell your doctor about. For example, suppose you have an IUD in place, high blood pressure, heart disease, bleeding problems, anemia, or uncontrolled diabetes. These health concerns can cause serious health risks during a surgical or chemical abortion.

5.

Review all your pregnancy options.

Even if you don’t think you have an option, you have pregnancy options – primarily parenting, adoption, and abortion. There are many government and nonprofit resources to help with living expenses, food, supplies, and parenting education.

6.

The legality of abortion.

Women considering an abortion should be aware of the state laws where they plan to have an abortion or receive abortion pills. Specifically, if you want to know where to get an abortion in Birmingham, be aware that abortion in the State of Alabama is only available under very limited circumstances.

Her Choice Birmingham offers free pregnancy ultrasounds to help determine if you can get an abortion. To get a free pregnancy ultrasound at Her Choice Birmingham, complete the online form, call us at (205) 252-0706 or text (205) 234-2448.
