Should I Talk to My Doctor About This?
For medical reasons, it may be important for your gynecologist to be aware of a possible abortion—even if you plan to consult another doctor for the procedure (since not all doctors perform abortions).
Because your gynaecologist might already be planning your care during the pregnancy or conducting follow-up examinations after an abortion, it could be helpful to openly share your thoughts with them.
It’s not uncommon for gynaecologist to notice when a patient is shocked or uncertain upon learning they are pregnant. A good doctor will take your concerns seriously and give you the time and space to express yourself. You can also request a longer appointment specifically for a discussion.
Women are not required to undergo mandatory counseling or a waiting period before an abortion, however, emotional support and counseling are provided if requested.
