    What Do I Need To Know Before Getting An Abortion In Schuylkill County?

    Abortion providers offer both medical and surgical abortions. The types of abortion available to you depend on factors such as how far along you are and what procedures an abortion provider offers. Because abortion is a medical procedure, it's important to consider all the facts and do your research before making a decision.

    What Questions Should I Ask Before an Abortion?

    Before you get an abortion, give yourself permission to take the time you need to gather information. You should ask a trusted medical provider the following questions to help you make a calm, educated decision.

    • Am I really pregnant?
    • How far along am I?
    • Is this a viable pregnancy?
    • What types of abortions are there?
    • What information do I need to know about abortion?

    Asking questions about abortion can help you gather the information you need so you feel confident in your decision. You have the right to make your own choice without pressure or judgment.

    Medical Abortion Information

    Medical abortions use drugs instead of surgical instruments to end a pregnancy. "The Abortion Pill" (mifepristone plus misoprostol) is the most common form of medical abortion.

    Surgical Abortion Information

    Surgical abortions require more time and investment since there is a medical procedure that needs to be paid for and have medical professionals perform it. There aren’t surgical abortion providers in Schuylkill County.

    Abortion Is Just One Option

    At Jewel Women’s Center, we see a wide variety of women from central Pennsylvania. These women come to our women’s center in Schuylkill Haven. During our no-cost consultation, we provide information on medical abortions and options in addition to our medical services.

    Many women we meet with choose to get an abortion at a Pennsylvania abortion clinic after learning more about the process. Other women ask for information about adoption. We can connect patients with an adoption specialist if they would like to learn more about adoption with no pressure to commit. Additionally, some patients choose to be a parent and ask for help in preparing for and caring for a new baby. We provide material assistance and parenting classes as well.

    Our goal at Jewel Women’s Center is to help and support the women in Schuylkill County and beyond.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Should I get an ultrasound before my abortion?

    Yes, it’s important to get an ultrasound before abortion. Getting an ultrasound provides information about how far along you are in your pregnancy, if the pregnancy is viable and growing in the right location, and more. This information helps to make sure that it's safe to move forward with an abortion if that is your choice.

    Can you have sex before an abortion?

    It’s usually recommended to avoid having sex for 1-2 days before you have an abortion. This lowers the risk of irritating the cervix and cuts down on the chance of infection.

    Can you eat before an abortion procedure?

    This depends on the exact type of abortion procedure you’re having. Check with your medical provider before your procedure for exact instructions.

    Is it too late in my pregnancy to have an abortion?

    This depends on your exact location. In the state of Pennsylvania, abortion is legal through the 23rd week of pregnancy.
