First Trimester Procedures

From conception up to the 12th week of pregnancy. The procedure used is suction aspiration, which is considered very low-risk. The procedure normally lasts less than 5 minutes. You will be offered a variety of options for anesthesia; for some medications, you will need to have a driver or shuttle. Most of our patients report that they feel no discomfort during the procedure. Your total in-clinic time is normally less than 1 1/2 hours.

Second Trimester Procedures

From the 13th week to the 26th week of pregnancy. The procedure used is suction aspiration and dilation and evacuation, which are also considered very low-risk. The procedure normally lasts less than 20 minutes. You will be offered a variety of options for anesthesia and will need to have a driver or shuttle. Most of our patients report that they feel no discomfort during the procedure. If your pregnancy is over 14 weeks, we may use a medication to help prepare the cervix that will enable us to perform the procedure more easily. In most cases up to 16 weeks the procedure can be completed the same day; from 16 to 26 weeks, it is done in two days. Your total in-clinic time is normally less than 2 hours.

Incomplete Miscarriages

Incomplete miscarriages often result in ongoing irregular bleeding that can lead to anemia and symptoms such as fatigue and dizziness. The procedure used to treat this is known as a “D&C”.
