Your first visit to the private abortion clinic in London will be a simple consultation. You will discuss your options with the doctor. You will also undergo a few health checks. The doctor will explain the different termination procedures that are available and advise you on which is most appropriate for you. This can depend on your health and the length of the pregnancy. You will be able to ask any questions and to take as much time as you need to make your decision. If you decide to go ahead with the termination, you will return to the clinic or go to the hospital for the procedure.

Three different types of termination are offered by 132 Healthwise. Each of these procedures will be conducted by Mr. Stafford at The Chelsea and Westminster Hospital.

Medical Abortion Pill

A medical abortion involves taking two different kinds of medication, two days apart. You will need to have two appointments at the clinic or hospital so that you can take the medication under supervision.

Surgical Abortion

A surgical abortion is conducted as a day patient procedure at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital. The procedure doesn’t require any incisions to be made and it will be done with just a general anaesthetic. You will need to stay in hospital for a few hours, but you should be able to go home the same day.

Manual Vacuum Aspiration

Manual vacuum aspiration is an alternative surgical procedure that is sometimes offered instead of the more common surgical abortion. It is also conducted at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital as a day patient procedure. You will be able to go home about an hour after the procedure.
