thats not always the case at all though.
From nine to to 24 weeks - medical or drug treatments can be used at any stage of pregnancy, but the process takes longer later in pregnancy and you will need to come into hospital and may need to stay.
From five to 15 weeks - the pregnancy can be removed through a tube placed through the vagina into the cervix. This is called a suction termination and can be done as a day case, avoiding a hospital stay. This may be done under sedation, local anaesthetic or a light general anaesthetic.
From 15 to 19 weeks - it may be necessary to stretch the cervix to empty the womb, which usually means that a light general anaesthetic is required.
