The decision that you are ready for motherhood is an important one, and you must consider many factors. Having a baby requires a long-term commitment that you may not be ready or able to make at the current time. If you choose to terminate your pregnancy, Washington Surgi-Clinic is here to provide confidential and safe abortion services .

Your Age
Your age can be a significant factor when deciding whether motherhood is right for you. If you are young, you may wish to finish or continue your education. You may not yet be married or you and your partner may not be ready to make the commitment required to have a family together. Conversely, if you are at an age where you do not wish to have more children or feel it could be unsafe, abortion may also be the best choice for you.

Your Financial Status
Giving birth to and raising a child both require a significant financial investment that you may not be able to make at this time. You may not be financially independent at all, or your current job may not provide the monetary stability you need to securely raise a family. Seeking abortion because you cannot afford to raise a baby is not wrong; it is a decision based upon the reality of your situation.

Your Health
Health concerns are a reason why many women consider abortion. In some cases, carrying a child can exacerbate existing medical conditions or carry the potential to negatively affect your health. Additionally, certain diseases and chemical dependencies can harm or even be passed on to your child. These factors or other health concerns may prompt you to decide that motherhood is not right for you at this time.

During a healthy pregnancy, the fertilized egg implants itself into the uterine wall. If the egg implants anywhere else in the reproductive system, it is called an ectopic pregnancy.

This video discusses the various types of ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancies are rare, occurring in only 1-2% of cases. However, certain risk factors may raise your chances of developing an ectopic pregnancy. These risk factors include having a sexually transmitted disease and having had a previous ectopic pregnancy.

Ectopic pregnancy must be treated to prevent serious complications for the mother. In some cases, abortion may be the best option for the mother’s health. Contact Washington Surgi-Clinic at (202) 659-9403 if you have questions or concerns about ectopic pregnancy, your health, and abortion. We can help you make the right decision and provide the care you need with compassion and confidentiality .

An unplanned pregnancy may leave you facing difficult decisions, including whether to tell your parents about your situation. Abortion laws vary by state, so it’s important to know your rights and how they apply in your situation. Seeking answers and support from a women’s clinic can help you make the right decision with regard to your health and future.

Understanding Your Rights
In Washington, DC, the law provides that no parental consent is needed to receive an abortion or seek any other OB/GYN services. This means you do not need to tell your parents, grandparents, or any guardian or family member about your pregnancy and whether you wish to end it. Washington Surgi-Clinic will not ask for any consent but your own when you visit us for services. We maintain strict patient confidentiality for women of all ages, including those under 18. You do not need to worry that your parents or any other family members or guardians will find out about your visit or any services you have received.

Making Your Decision
The decision to terminate or maintain a pregnancy is yours, but you can seek help beyond your parents if you are worried about making this decision alone. Friends can lend support or act as a sounding board to help you weigh your options. You may also wish to seek advice from an adult , such as a clergy member or school counselor, who must also respect your right to privacy during confession or counseling. Additionally, the staff and physicians at your abortion clinic can provide you with the information you need to make your decision. They will help you understand any risks and benefits with compassion, respect, and objectivity.
