Louisiana At Home Abortion Information

At Home Abortion

Opting for an abortion at home is a deeply personal decision. It gives a woman the flexibility to choose her support system, whether she prefers the company of loved ones for emotional backing or desires privacy. However, some are apprehensive about at-home abortions, viewing them as potentially more prolonged and riskier compared to surgical procedures in clinical settings due to the possibility of complications occurring away from medical facilities.

When deciding on an at-home abortion, there are primarily two pathways: arranging a telehealth consultation followed by receiving the necessary medication by mail or visiting a local abortion provider.

Many opt for a telehealth consultation to assess their suitability for a medication-induced abortion (known as the abortion pill or Plan C). Nonetheless, telehealth practitioners are unable to conduct physical exams, including ultrasounds, which are crucial for determining the appropriate abortion method. Such consultations can’t verify an ongoing viable pregnancy, nor can they exclude the possibilities of miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy. Therefore, a preliminary screening before deciding on a pregnancy termination is crucial.

Why consider an Louisiana pregnancy center?

Louisiana pregnancy centers offer a complimentary pre-abortion screening, confirming several vital factors:

  • Assessing fetal age (a positive pregnancy test alone doesn’t confirm a viable pregnancy)
  • Checking for signs of miscarriage (as many as 1 in 4 known pregnancies may end in miscarriage)
  • Excluding an ectopic pregnancy (which can be life-threatening in some instances)

Their qualified medical team conducts these screenings. Their staff is also available to discuss all available options with you. Understanding all facts and risks associated with abortion is an essential step prior to commencing any procedure.

Stay Safe

The FDA advises against the abortion pill for individuals who:

  • Have an ectopic pregnancy
  • Suffer from adrenal gland disorders
  • Are undergoing long-term corticosteroid therapy
  • Have previously had allergic reactions to mifepristone, misoprostol, or similar medications
  • Have bleeding disorders or are on anticoagulant medication
  • Suffer from inherited porphyria
  • Have an IUD in place (which must be removed before taking Mifeprex) Additional safety measures include:
  • Arranging a follow-up appointment
  • Ensuring immediate access to emergency medical care
  • Undergoing blood tests for RH factor Before finalizing your decision about an abortion, consider scheduling a no-cost pre-abortion screening at our clinic.

At Louisiana pregnancy centers your health and well-being are their top priority. Before you make a decision about abortion, we encourage you to take advantage of their free pre-abortion screening services. Schedule an appointment at your local Louisiana pregnancy center today and take the first step towards making an informed and safe choice for your future.

These Ladies Deserve a 10 star Review!!!

"My experience was beautiful. The atmosphere was just what I needed. My husband and I found them on Google, and we decided to visit them after reviewing the amazing reviews. I must say they were very professional and caring. This is not your regular sonography center; they take their time to go through the entire process with you with so much love and care for FREE. May God continue to empower you ladies to keep up the great work you all are doing for the community to help all women. God bless you ladies!" Kayla

I Had a Wonderful Experience.

"I was nervous and had many questions before I got there. I was educated on what to expect and was given a lot of useful information. This experience made my husband and I feel so much better we are excited about our new journey as parents. I would highly recommend this company and their wonderful staff to guide you on your journey. The ultrasound went smoothly and the ladies here are incredibly kind and wonderful people. I was so excited to see our ultrasound. Definitely would recommend to all women that are looking confidential, smooth, wonderful experience. I am extremely grateful for their kindness, professionalism, and their care." Alisha

Very Professional and Clean Environment.

"I will definitely recommend them. They speak both English and Spanish to help those who don’t understand English all that well. Took a friend there who believed she was pregnant and with their help she found out she was. Thank you so much." Stella

Me and My Partner’s Experience Was Excellent!

"Our experience with them was excellent! Their response time is superb, calling the same day. They are very kind and they served the highest quality of their medical promise, not to mention it all being free. We were shown many resources that needy couples do not easily find. The environment is very home-like providing a space which is comfortable. The sonographers are down-to-earth and engage in comforting conversation before, during and after the sonogram. They are willing to keep in touch with you, and they will refer you to their extended team if you need help (i.e., free clinics, abortion references, insurance). I recommend pregnancy centers 100%, and if you are a woman or a couple which needs help, there isn't a better place to go. This team is not here to make a buck out of you: they care about you and will go above and beyond to do all they can to help you." Lamyka

A HUGE Blessing.

"The times I have interacted with our local pregnancy center have always proved to be a great experience. The work they do not only to help women in times of need with heartfelt compassion, but after that with assisting them with material goods such as diapers, car seats, etc. is awesome. Their devotion to helping women is truly inspiring." Theresa
