HOW LONG DO I STAY IN INDIA
A Common question to plan your travel to India. If you are planning to have a Medical abortion, a short trip of a few hours to Mumbai is good enough. If you are planning a surgical abortion, plan a 2 day stay in Mumbai. The day you arrive, we welcome you. All routine preop investigations are done to assess your health, a Ultrasonography is done to assess your gestation period and consultation is planned for you. The procedure is done the same day. You recover and rest the following day and fly back the evening back home.
For Second trimester abortion, you may need to stay for 3 days or longer as per your pregnancy period and individual response to the medications and we recommend an open return ticket for you.
If you are planning a family planning procedure like a Tubal ligation, add on a day for your stay before you safely fly back home.

SHOULD I BRING MY FRIEND OR PARTNER WITH ME
You are encouraged to bring in a friend or partner for moral support and to take care of you after the procedure. It is not an absolute neccisity for we have a number of single women travelling to Mumbai and getting the procedure done and flying back home. 

HOW DO I COME PREPARE FOR THE PROCEDURE
Foremost, come calm and relax to our center. Avoid alcohol or drugs atleast 48 hours before the procedure. Stop aspirin atleast 48 hours before the procedure. Wear comfortable clothes and pack in personal items. After landing at Mumbai, keep yourself fasting - NIL BY MOUTH - for the blood tests and procedure.

WHAT DO I EXPECT AT THE CENTER
We welcome you to our center. We are open 24/7 all days of the week. You are taken to your room booked for you. A Nurse will complete the formalities of admission, payment and proceed for the blood tests and pregnancy test if needed. An Ultrasound will be scheduled for you. Once we have your preliminary reports, our doctor will meet you for the consultation and answer all your questions before we proceed for the procedure.

IS IT PAINFUL
YES - the procedure is very very painful. But we do it under short General anasthesia and there is no pain experienced during Dilatation and suction evacuation procedure done for First trimester abortion. 
The second trimester abortion procedure is like a mini labour so once the process of abortion starts, you will experience pain and discomfort including bleeding till the abortion is completed.
In case of Medical abortion, you will experience pain during the process of abortion after the second dose of medications similar to experiencing the pain of heavy menstrual bleed. This  shows that the medications taken by you are acting and the process of abortion would be successful.

WHAT ABOUT AFTER ABORTION
You need to take the medications recommended by us for you.
Your menses after the abortion can be a bit early or come later and may be a bit heavy - but it will normalise after the first menses. You need to use some form of contraception for the process of ovulation resumes after the abortion.
To avoid infections - for 2 weeks

• do not have intercourse or douche
• do not take a tub bath or go swimming
• avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting (over 15 pounds)
• avoid alcohol, aspirin and marijuana which may cause heavier bleeding
• do not use tampons until your next period

DO YOU PROVIDE POST ABORTION COUNSELLING AND ADVISE ABOUT CONTRACEPTION
YES- We do provide Counselling to selected women and advise to use Contraceptives to prevent pregnancy in future.
