At CARE Reproductive Health, we understand that seeking a late-term abortion (beyond 24 weeks) can be a deeply personal and often medically complex decision. We are here to support individuals and families with compassionate, expert care in a safe, respectful environment.

We provide late-term abortion services up to 35 weeks at our Bethesda, Maryland location for patients facing severe fetal anomalies, maternal health concerns, or other personal circumstances that require abortion care later in pregnancy.

Why Patients Seek Late-Term Abortion Care:

• New or worsening maternal health conditions
• Severe fetal anomalies diagnosed later in pregnancy
• Delays in accessing care due to legal, logistical, or financial barriers
• Personal circumstances impacting the ability to continue the pregnancy

At CARE, we believe everyone deserves access to compassionate, high-quality abortion care, no matter their circumstances or the stage of their pregnancy.

What to Expect:

Late-term abortion procedures typically take 2–3 days, depending on gestational age, medical history, and individual health needs. Our experienced team will guide you through each step with personalized support:

• Ultrasound and medical assessment to confirm gestational age and determine the best plan for your care.
• Administration of medication to ensure a safe and respectful process, in alignment with medical and legal guidelines.
• Medications to soften and open the cervix to prepare for the procedure.
• Procedure using gentle suction and medical instruments to safely empty the uterus.
• Moderate IV sedation and additional comfort measures provided throughout your care.
• Rest and monitoring in our private recovery area with attentive nursing care before discharge.

Our Approach

Our multidisciplinary team of physicians, nurses, and clinical staff is highly experienced in providing late-term abortion care with sensitivity, skill, and respect. We collaborate closely with maternal-fetal medicine specialists, genetic counselors, referring providers, and patients to ensure clear, compassionate communication throughout your care.

We honor your privacy and dignity, offering memorial services, keepsake options (footprint cards, remembrance certificates, memory boxes), tissue collection for genetic testing, and referrals for emotional support if desired.

No Maryland Residency Required

Patients travel to CARE Reproductive Health from across the United States and internationally for late-term abortion care. You do not need to be a Maryland resident to receive care at our clinic. We can assist with logistics, including:

• Financial assistance resources
• Travel and lodging support connections
• Collaboration with your referring provider for continuity of care (if desired)

Your story is yours alone, and your choice is an act of love and courage. We are here to walk beside you with care, without judgment, and with the dignity you deserve.
