How the Three-Day Procedure Works

Third trimester abortion care is typically completed in three days. This allows careful cervical preparation and medical monitoring throughout the process. Your care plan is individualized based on gestational age and medical history.

Day 1: Evaluation & Cervical Preparation

On your first day, you’ll meet the care team, review your medical history, and have an ultrasound to confirm gestational age. We’ll walk you through the process, answer questions, and provide medications to begin cervical preparation.

  • Medical review, ultrasound, and individualized care planning
  • Medications to begin cervical preparation
  • Comfort medications provided as needed

Day 2: Continued Preparation & Monitoring

On the second day, your physician may continue cervical preparation and begin the induction process. You’ll be monitored closely, and our team will support you with comfort measures and clinical guidance.

  • Continued preparation and induction steps as appropriate
  • Ongoing medical monitoring and support
  • Clear guidance for what to expect overnight

Day 3: Procedure Completion & Recovery

On the final day, the physician completes the procedure under careful medical supervision. Afterward, you’ll recover in the privacy of your own room until you are ready to return home or to your hotel.

  • Procedure completion with experienced physicians
  • Private recovery with medical monitoring
  • Aftercare instructions and follow-up guidance
