A little Preparation is worth it
Some women find the abortion pill process to be more intense than expected.
IT'S COMMON TO WONDER:
- "How much bleeding is normal?"
- "How will I know if something isn't right?"
- "What should I have ready before I start?"
Leave with answers that apply to your specific pregnancy & situation, not just general information.

Before You Start
There are things that are unique to your pregnancy that can have a big impact on your experience.
You'll want to know:
- How far along you are
- Whether the pregnancy is developing in the uterus
- Whether a heartbeat can be detected
An ultrasound answers these key questions & can identify concerns that may need medical attention before an abortion.
Free ultrasounds at our Middlebury location are often available same-day, helping you get answers without unnecessary delays.

Our typical appointment flow is:
1. Check-in. Privately share details & ask any initial questions.
2. Confirm Pregnancy. Take a free lab-quality pregnancy test. If medically appropriate, we'll provide or schedule a free ultrasound at our Middlebury location to better understand your pregnancy.
3. Talk with a nurse. Meet privately to talk openly, share concerns, and receive medical clarity about your pregnancy options and the abortion pill.
This is not an abortion procedure appointment. This appointment is designed to help you feel safe, seen, and informed about your body and next steps.

Not every abortion provider has the same medical credentials, experience, or approach to patient care. Before moving forward, it's okay to pause and ask questions so you understand exactly what to expect.
Some important questions include:
- Does your doctor have admitting rights to your local hospital in case of complications?
- Who will be providing my care, and what are their medical qualifications?
- What should you do if the abortion fails or the doctor fails to remove all fetal tissue?
During your appointment, we'll walk through a more comprehensive list of questions you may want to ask.
- Does your doctor have admitting rights to your local hospital in case of complications?
