3 Things Needed Before Abortion
Facing an unexpected pregnancy can feel emotional and overwhelming. If you’re considering abortion, it’s important to take time to gather accurate information before making any decisions.
At Treasure Valley Path, we believe you deserve clarity and space to explore your next steps. Schedule an appointment to learn more about your options, and keep reading to learn three essential things to do before making a final decision.
Understand Idaho Abortion Law
Idaho law currently prohibits abortion in nearly all circumstances. Exceptions are limited to situations to preserve the woman’s life or in specific cases of reported rape or incest in the first trimester. Due to these restrictions, knowing what resources and support are available to you in your local area is especially important.
If you’re considering traveling out of state, it’s critical to learn the risks and side effects of abortion to make a thoughtful decision.
Confirm Your Pregnancy with an Ultrasound
While a home pregnancy test can suggest a pregnancy, it can’t confirm important medical details. That’s where an ultrasound comes in.
An ultrasound can determine whether the pregnancy is developing, how far along you are, and whether it’s located in the uterus. These details are especially important to clarify your options.
At Treasure Valley Path, we offer no-cost ultrasounds performed by a licensed sonographer or registered nurse/midwife. This information can help you better understand what’s happening in your body and guide your decision-making, alerting you to conditions like ectopic pregnancy that require medical treatment.
Explore All Your Options
Even if you’re leaning toward abortion, taking the time to consider all your options, including parenting and adoption, can bring peace of mind. At Treasure Valley Path, we offer no-cost, confidential appointments where you can speak openly without judgment.
