At CARE Reproductive Health, we offer safe, compassionate in-clinic surgical abortion care from 24-35 weeks (third trimester). Surgical abortions are available exclusively at our Bethesda, Maryland location, and you do not need to be a Maryland resident to receive care here. Third-trimester abortion procedures typically take 2–3 days to complete. Our experienced team provides specialized care for patients seeking later abortion due to fetal anomalies, maternal health concerns, or personal circumstances.

What to Expect:

• An ultrasound will confirm how far along you are.
• Medications are used to soften and open the cervix before the procedure.
• Gentle suction and medical instruments are used to safely empty the uterus.
• Moderate IV sedation and additional comfort measures are provided for your care.
• You will have time to rest in our recovery area with attentive nursing care before being discharged after your procedure is complete.

Why Choose An In-Clinic Surgical Abortion Care?

• Safe, effective, and specialized care.
• Completed within 2–3 days with compassionate, expert support.
• Option for patients seeking third-trimester or late-term abortion care.
• Confidential, respectful, patient-centered environment.

After Your Visit:

• Most patients can return to light activities within a few days. Since you can become pregnant again immediately, we recommend starting birth control right away if you wish to prevent another pregnancy. Your provider can help you find the best option for your needs.
• Follow-up appointment up to 6 weeks after your initial appointment, to ensure the abortion is complete and you are recovering well.
