Things to NOT Do Before An Abortion:
1. Don’t Get an Abortion Without an Ultrasound
Don’t get an abortion without an ultrasound. Without it, you risk missing a miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy, which can be life-threatening if untreated. Protect your health by confirming the details first.
2. Don’t Buy Abortion Pills Online or from Unapproved Sources
Never purchase abortion pills from unverified online pharmacies. These sources may sell fake, expired, or ineffective drugs, putting your health at risk.
3. Don’t Ignore Medication and Substance Warnings
Avoid drugs and alcohol before and after an abortion. These substances can interfere with the abortion process or worsen side effects. Consult your provider about what to steer clear of before proceeding.
4. Don’t Schedule Plans Right After
Resist the urge to jump back into your routine. Recovery times vary, and you’ll need space to rest. Cancel plans and prioritize your healing.
5. Don’t minimize the emotional, physical, and physiological effects that come with abortion. We’re here to help—call 530-246-7075 for compassionate care with no judgment.
