Understanding 2nd Trimester Abortion Procedures
Second trimester abortion typically refers to procedures performed between 12 and 24 weeks of pregnancy. At FPA, we offer the most advanced and safe methods, including Dilation and Evacuation (D&E). Our team ensures that you fully understand your options and what to expect at every step. Early in the second trimester, we may use medication to prepare the cervix; after 15 weeks, cervical dilators are usually placed overnight to ensure safety and comfort.
If you are unsure how far along you are, use our pregnancy calculator for a quick estimate, or contact us for a confidential consultation. We are committed to making the process as seamless as possible, with support before, during, and after your procedure.
