After-Abortion Care

After-Abortion Care

Coastal Choices Women’s Clinic  provides after-abortion care in DeLand, Florida.

Abortion can often trigger a high-stress reaction. It is not uncommon to experience symptoms of post-abortion grief and trauma. These emotions may surface days, months, or even years after the initial experience, and they can lead to significant emotional distress. Whether you are currently contemplating abortion or have already undergone the procedure, we warmly invite you to participate in our after-abortion care program.

Begin Healing

Understanding the profound impact of your loss is the first significant step on the path to abortion recovery. We are here to extend an invitation for you to embark on a healing journey—a journey where you can begin to process your emotional pain, find restoration, embrace hope, and ultimately, discover inner peace.

Abortion PTSD also referred to as Post Abortion Stress Syndrome (PASS) refers to the lingering emotional and physical pain after an abortion, manifesting as grief, anger, shame, guilt, and other symptoms. Similar to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), individuals may experience heightened depression or anxiety around anniversaries of the abortion or the proposed birth date. Unfortunately, medical and mental health professionals may not always recognize the condition, making it challenging for those affected to feel heard or understood.

SYMPTOMS OF ABORTION TRAUMA:

  • Do you find yourself avoiding discussions about abortion?
  • Is the mere mention of the word ‘abortion’ accompanied by feelings of shame, grief, or guilt?
  • Do lingering emotions of anger or resentment surface towards those who may have been involved in your abortion?
  • Have you noticed that you tend to avoid forming deep relationships or exhibit co-dependent behavior since the abortion?
  • Do you ever doubt your own worthiness of love and happiness?
  • Do you become overprotective of your children?
  • Have you turned to substances like drugs or alcohol as a means of escape?
  • Do you struggle with an eating disorder or engage in self-harming behaviors?
  • Are your fears often unrealistic or overwhelming?
  • Do you feel a lingering sense of emptiness or an enduring feeling of loss?
  • Do periods of depression occasionally cloud your days?

Frequently Asked Questions

Question: Do I need an appointment?

Answer: Walk-ins are welcome. However, it is best to make an appointment to minimize your office wait time. Please call: 386-957-4811 or text 386-888-7383, or click make an appointment online.

Question: What is the cost?

Answer: All our services are free and confidential.

Question: What should I expect when I come for my visit?

Answer: Upon your arrival, our friendly receptionist will guide you to meet your client advocate. This advocate will offer you a judgment-free space to talk, followed by essential information and a pregnancy test. In the event of a positive test result, a dedicated medical professional from our team will perform a limited ultrasound to verify the pregnancy's viability and estimate the age of the fetus.

Question: How long after sex does it take for a pregnancy test to work and how accurate is the test?

Answer: Our tests can be performed 7 to 10 days after conception. A client with a negative result may be invited to return within 2 weeks for a repeat test if she has not had her period.

If you have taken a home pregnancy test, you may want to confirm results with a laboratory-quality test at our center or mobile clinic. Our tests detect HCg levels within 7 to 10 after conception.

Question: Will you tell anyone about my visit?

Answer: We maintain a rigorous privacy and confidentiality policy. Our clients' information is safeguarded against unauthorized disclosure, respecting their right to privacy, except in instances mandated by law. This includes situations necessary for public health, preventing harm to the client or others, or in specific circumstances where the use or disclosure of information is justified without prior consent, such as in cases of abuse reporting or suicide/homicide prevention.

Question: When should I schedule an appointment?

Answer: Our high-quality, medical-grade pregnancy tests are capable of detecting pregnancy from the first day after your initial missed period. We advise scheduling an appointment if you've missed a period, have any queries related to pregnancy, or suspect that you might be pregnant.

Question: How far along do I have to be to get a free ultrasound?

Answer: After an initial consultation with one of our client advocates, we offer on-site ultrasound scans. These limited ultrasounds are conducted by a licensed nurse sonographer or a registered diagnostic medical sonographer (RDMS) and are subsequently reviewed by a licensed physician. The purpose of an ultrasound is to confirm the viability of the pregnancy and to establish the gestational age. To be eligible for a limited ultrasound, you must be at least 6 weeks into your pregnancy, counted from the first day of your last menstrual period.

Question: I already know I'm pregnant and I want an abortion, what's next?

Answer: It is advisable to have an ultrasound to confirm the viability of your pregnancy and to ensure it is located within the uterus, as 20% to 25% of pregnancies end in miscarriage. Moreover, the ultrasound helps in determining the stage of your pregnancy, which is essential in making an informed decision about the type of abortion procedure you may consider. We offer a limited ultrasound free of charge.
