What You Should know about abortion
Abortion is not a simple procedure. Abortion involves health risks that you should be aware of. There are two types of abortions: medical (medication) abortion and surgical abortion. Each abortion procedure aims at terminating a pregnancy. Both come with side effects and health risks.
Side Effects of Abortion:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Fever
- Chills
- Diarrhea
- Headache
- Cramping
- Bleeding, including blood clots
Before you consider abortion or another option, you must confirm your pregnancy. After taking an at-home pregnancy test, confirm your pregnancy through a lab-quality pregnancy test and an ultrasound to accurately date your pregnancy.
