Abortion Risks

What Are The Physical Risks Of Abortion?

Abortion risks include:

  • Sustained fever, severe abdominal pain, prolonged heavy bleeding, or fainting
  • Abdominal pain or discomfort, or general malaise (“feeling sick,” including weakness, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea, with or without fever)

In-Clinic Surgical Abortion risks include:

  • heavy bleeding
  • incomplete abortion
  • infection
  • organ damage
  • emboli
  • anesthesia complications
  • Rh sensitization
  • in extreme cases, death.

The later term abortions carry the highest risks.

What are the potential future risks?

  • There is evidence of emotional, relational and even spiritual risks following an abortion procedure. Most women say they initially felt relief and looked forward to their lives returning to normal. But some women report negative emotions after abortion, that linger, unresolved. For others, problems related to their abortion emerge months or even years later. After abortion, most women are able to become pregnant again.  However, abortion may increase the risk of complications that can impact future pregnancies and the health of future children.  Below are a few of the potential risks on future pregnancies and children:
    • pre-term birth
    • low birth weight
    • placenta previa
      To learn more about emotional risks after abortion, check out our After Abortion Care page, or make an appointment to talk with someone at PRC of Rolla about your options, procedures, and short and long-term risks of abortion.

Frequently Asked Questions

A: Walk-ins are welcome. However, it is best to make an appointment to minimize your office wait time. Please call or text (573) 873-6710, or click schedule an appointment online .

A: Absolutely. You can bring your boyfriend, family member, or friend. We will talk with you privately first. Then, provided you have given us consent to have them in the room, your guest will be able to join you.

A: You’ll be welcomed by our receptionist who will introduce you to your certified Professional Life Coach.  She will listen to you judgment-free and provide you with information followed by a pregnancy test.  Should your test be positive, we will conduct a limited ultrasound to confirm if you have a viable pregnancy and date fetal age.

A: Our tests can be performed 7 to 10 days after conception. A client with a negative result may be invited to return within 2 weeks for a repeat test if she has not had her period.  

If you have taken a home pregnancy test, it is best to confirm results with a laboratory-quality test at our center.

A:  We adhere to a strict privacy and confidentiality policy. Clients will be protected from disclosure of information that violates the right to privacy except when required by law, required for public health reasons, required to avert a threat of harm to the client or a third person, or when other circumstances may reasonably warrant such use or disclosure without prior authorization (e.g., abuse reporting, suicide/homicide prevention, etc.).

A: Our professional, medical-grade lab quality pregnancy test can determine pregnancy at the first day after your first missed period. We recommend you make an appointment if you have missed a period, have any pregnancy related questions, or think you might be pregnant.

A: An ultrasound is recommended to know if your pregnancy is viable and in your uterus, since 20% – 25% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage.  Additionally, the ultrasound will show how far along you are to determine what type of abortion you would choose.  We can provide a limited ultrasound at no cost to you.
