Abortion

If you are thinking of having an abortion, visit the Southeast London (SEL) Abortion Services website for more information about the services available.

An abortion can be carried out up to the 24th week of pregnancy. The type of abortion you get depends on how early or advanced your pregnancy is, but it is best to have an abortion before 10 weeks of pregnancy (a pregnancy is counted from the first day of your last period). The service will provide a full choice of contraceptive methods after the procedure.
