Why Choose Aid For Women For Pregnancy Termination Services?
- EXPERIENCED DOCTOR Our physician has 35 years of experience in Obstetrics and Gynecology.
- COMFORT. Conscious Sedation is available for patients who desire to have little or
no experience of the procedure. This greatly improves the comfort over local anesthesia
particularly in pregnancies over 7 weeks. If a woman chooses local anesthesia but finds the
procedure to be uncomfortable, she can change her mind and receive twilight sleep if her
support person is in the building. Also, with no group counseling or recovery you may have
a loved one with you except during the procedure (about 15 minutes).
- REASONABLE FEES. Our fees are less than most abortion providers, and Conscious Sedation is offered at no additional cost.
- 4. GOOD QUALITY. We are a National Abortion Federation member and follow their
standards. We are inspected regularly.
We use routine sonography to eliminate those who are not pregnant, and those who are too far
along for us. We also diagnose spontaneous abortions (miscarries), and avoid certain problems that might complicate an
abortion. Antibiotics are prescribed whether you need them or not.
- SPANISH BI-LINGUAL if needed.
- 24-HOUR PHYSICIAN ON-CALL. Our physicians are available to meet
you after hours if necessary for any post-operative situations at no charge.
Otherwise, if you went to the emergency room it could cost you more than the
original abortion procedure.
- EASY DRIVING LOCATION. Only blocks from I-70, I-670, and easy access from I-35 & I-29.
Medical Visit Preparations
- Bring our Aid For Women 24-hour form.
- NO GUM, MINTS, FOOD or DRINK! Nothing by Mouth for 6 hours prior to
your appointment EXCEPT WATER or SMOKING, or else the anesthesia will make you throw up, suffocate and die.
We don't want that and neither do you. You may however leave snacks and smokes for your Support Person in the
car so they won't want to leave to clinic property to get something to eat.
- Government photo identification is required, preferably State Driver's Licenses and ID's,
Passports, Embassy ID's, and Alien registration.
- Have a full bladder for an easier abdominal sonography scan or else we will have to do a
transvaginal scan if your bladder is not full.
- No aspirin for one week prior to your abortion appointment because it will make you
bleed more. Ibuprofen (Advil) and acetominophen (Tylenol) are okay.
- No alcohol or illegal drugs in your bloodstream at appointment time. We don't want our
narcotics over-loading your recreational drugs and killing you. Got it? If you take prescription medications,
contact us to see which medications you should still take that morning.
- Fees will be collected first. Any adjustments to the fees, such as more weeks or
Rh-negative blood, will be collected before the abortion. Bring your fees in
cash, money order, credit card or debit card with the VisaTM or
MastercardTM logos; NO CHECKS. The owner of credit card must be here
with proper identification. Credit or debit cards will cost you more.
- Bring your first morning urine in a small clean container, like a spice bottle,
aspirin bottle, medicine bottle, or a small yogurt container.
- Wear a 2-piece loose-fitting outfit complete with socks, regular underwear and short sleeves.
Those who are 12-weeks or more should bring a warm jacket because one medicine given makes you
feel cold.
- Shower that morning and wear fresh underwear (no thongs), pleeeease.
- Leave children with family or baby-sitter, not here with your Support Person, or else be re-Scheduled.
- Bring reading glasses if needed.
- Conscious Sedation : Support Person MUST STAY. If they leave, you are re-scheduled. If
you are 12-weeks or more, you must take Conscious Sedation and, therefore, must have a Support Person
here the entire time.
- Due to limited seating, please bring only one Support Person. If taking Conscious
Sedation, your Support person must be able to drive you home.
- A follow-up visit ($, pelvic exam, & urine pregnancy test) will be required
with us or your physician within 30 days after the procedure.
- Bring a blood bank donor card, if available, so we don't have to poke your finger for Rh-blood typing.
- Please notify us of any pre-existing medical conditions, drug allergies (penicillin, codeine, sulfa,
seafood,..., et cetera)
- If you are under 18 years of age, you will need parental notification which means
getting their notarized signature on the Parental Notification form. We have notaries here.
Those not wanting to inform their parents can get a "Judicial Waiver". It's a little more paperwork,
but it is confidential and is successful. Either way, a 21-year old (not necessarily the parent)
with photo ID needs to accompany the minor for counseling - it's the law. If the parent comes,
the parent must bring their photo ID and your birth certificate that shows who the patient's
parents are.
- Plan to be here approximately 6 hours if you are a One-Day Patient, 2.5 hours if scheduled as a
Two-Day Patient. Patients who are 12 weeks or more will generally be here about 5 hours regardless
of scheduling as One-Day or Two-Day appointment.
- If you arrive more than 15 minutes late, you will be re-scheduled.
- We have Wi-Fi available. Bring your laptop.
