This is usually the abortion method used when you are beyond 10 weeks of pregnancy, but can be used earlier. 

Similarly to the abortion pill, side effects can include cramping, nausea, feeling faint, possible heavy and/or prolonged bleeding, infection, fever, chills, and in rare cases, death. 

Many women also experience new or triggered mental health issues following their abortion. These conditions can include anxiety, depression, or trauma-related symptoms. PCCOB is here to help you navigate these symptoms.

A surgical abortion is typically performed at 10 weeks (from the date of your last menstrual period or beyond).

B this time your baby:

-Has a heart and the heartbeat can be heard on ultrasound.

-Has ears, eyes, eyelids, and lips that have begun to form.

​-Has an umbilical cord that connects the baby to your placenta.

​

At the PCCOB, we care deeply about your health.  Therefore, we can't in good conscious, perform or refer for abortion. However, we want to make sure that you have all of the information that you need before making a decision.  Our goal is NOT to force you to choose anything. Our goal is to make sure any questions that you may have are answered. 

Many times after an abortion, women experience mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and trauma-related symptoms. We are not professional counselors, but we do have trained client advocates and medical professionals who are ready and willing to walk with you through the process of finding healing.  You do not have to continue walking alone... there is hope.
