How should I prepare for a surgical abortion with general anaesthetic?

For information on preparing for a surgical abortion please click here

When visiting our clinic for your surgical abortion appointment you should:

  • Wear comfortable and loose clothing.
  • Bring heavy flow sanitary towels.
  • You will have been told if you need to remove any facial and body piercings, makeup and nail varnish.
  • Remove contact lenses if you wear them (bring a pair of glasses with you)

We ask that you have a trusted person (over 18) to take you home after your appointment and stay with you for 24 hours.

If you are ill in the 2 days before your surgical abortion, please call us. We may have to rebook your appointment for when you are feeling better.
