Here is some info on the procedure that
you will likely need at your stage of
pregnancy and the costs (having had a
shifty round the web, it does seem that
the .N.H.S will not cover you and you will
have to pay privately):
from
www.Channel4.Com/health
surgical dilatation and evacuation
(d&e) (from about 15 weeks of
pregnancy). The cervix is dilated and the
pregnancy removed in fragments using a
suction tube and forceps. This usually
needs a general anaesthetic. You may be
able to go home the same day if you are
healthy and the pregnancy is less than 18
weeks.
Abortion after 20 weeks is uncommon and
will involve one of the following two
procedures. You will need to spend one or
two nights in hospital.
Surgical two-stage abortion (from 20 to 24
weeks). A surgical two-stage abortion
involves two procedures performed under
general anaesthetic: firstly the cutting
of the umbilical cord and a second
procedure to remove the contents of the
womb.
Medical induction (from 20 to 24 weeks).
During a medical induction the fetal heart
is stopped and drugs are used to induce
premature labour.
Current costs start from around £350 (or
£405 in london) but go up to £750 plus
in the later stages of pregnancy.
.
In .England, you can get an elective
abortion up to 24 weeks but I know that it
can be more difficult to get two doctors
to sign agreement to it after a certain
gestation. It's not impossible though.
Also, the .N.H.S has an average
waiting time of 2-4 weeks for an abortion
so you time is of the essence for you.
You would probably have to pay privately;
i'[m not sure the .N.H.S would cover you
since you are not resident of .England,
.Wales or .Scotland. I would say to go
and see your doc but I don't know if
that's possible considering where you
live.
