At first no. During the intervention, the effects of anesthesia are supposed to take effect. Then painkillers are prescribed, but not always necessary. However, each woman is different and the pain tolerance threshold is just as different. This can make this event live quite differently from one woman to another. It is possible that some bleeding may occur, remember to take a towel for the return of the intervention.

Procedures For Abortion

The first thing to remember: in Dubai, abortion is legal and every woman, adult or minor, can decide alone whether or not to terminate her pregnancy. Then, you have to take into account the number of weeks of pregnancy. Abortion is legal in Dubai for up to 14 weeks of pregnancy, and 7 weeks for medical abortion.

Approaches

Two medical appointments are required before proceeding with an abortion. – First, it is necessary to meet with a doctor or a midwife of your choice, in order to receive all the necessary information, offer a psycho-social interview, and receive a certificate attesting to your request. This certificate is obviously not binding, you can change your mind until the last moment.

Inform To Patient

During the second consultation, you confirm your abortion request in writing to the caregiver who will carry out a gynecological examination. And an ultrasound to locate the embryo and precisely date the start date of pregnancy. A third appointment is made about 3 weeks after the abortion, with beta-HCG assay (commonly called “pregnancy hormone”). It is essential not to forget this appointment, which will confirm that everything is fine and that the whole pregnancy has been evacuated. Contraception will be prescribed during this consultation if necessary.
