Abortion Information

Your first step in any pregnancy crisis is a medical consultation. Abortion Worcester offers free medical services to help you through your pregnancy and abortion decisions. Before deciding the outcome of your pregnancy, it is important to answer these four questions:

1. Is my pregnancy viable?

2. Where is my pregnancy located?

Only an ultrasound exam can determine whether the pregnancy is in the uterus. A pregnancy developing outside the uterus in the fallopian tube (ectopic pregnancy) is a life-threatening emergency.

3. How far along am I?

Gestational age determines the type and cost of abortion procedures that you could be eligible for. Only an ultrasound exam can accurately determine gestational age.

4. Do I have an STD?

Having any type of abortion with an untreated STD jeopardizes a woman’s health by increasing her risk of infection and other complications. Abortion Worcester offers free pregnancy options counseling that will give you the answers you need to make the decision that’s best for you. If you think you may be pregnant, call, text or schedule online today.

What is abortion?

At its root, to abort simply means “to stop,” but the word abortion has come to be commonly associated with induced abortion.

Induced Abortion is the separation of mother and child prior to birth in order to end the life of the baby. Therapeutic Abortion is the separation of mother and child prior to birth in order to save the life of the mother.

Spontaneous Abortion, commonly called miscarriage, is a naturally occurring loss of a pregnancy before 20 weeks gestation. After 20 weeks, loss of a pregnancy is considered preterm delivery.

What does abortion cost?

According to Planned Parenthood’s national average a first-trimester abortion costs $600-$800. Second trimester abortions cost $715-$2000.

The specific cost of an abortion depends on the type of procedure and the size of the fetus, which are based on gestational age. The price rises as pregnancy progresses. Price also varies by provider; clinics and private practice abortionists typically offer lower costs than hospitals.

Typical cost of an abortion in Maryland:

Abortion pill (medication abortion) – $578

In-clinic abortion:

gestation period 4-13 – $578 – $688
gestation period 14 – $798
gestation period 15 – 16 – $1128 – $1568
gestation period 17 -18 – $1678 – $1788
gestation period 19 – 20 – $1898 – $2008

If you want sedation (medicine to help you relax during your in-clinic abortion):
sedation — IV medication – $220
