If you are more than six weeks and two days pregnant, a five-day reflection period applies to an abortion. This is required by law to ensure that you make a well-considered decision.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Consultation with your GP or a doctor at the abortion clinic<\/h2> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n \n
\n
\n

The five-day reflection period is between the first consultation with a doctor, during which you discuss your intention to terminate the pregnancy, and the day of treatment.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n \n
\n
\n

You can make an appointment with your family doctor for the first consultation and the necessary referral letter. After this talk, you can contact the clinic directly to set a date for the treatment. The treatment can then take place five days later.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n \n
\n
\n

If you don\u2019t want to or can\u2019t see your GP, you can also make an\u00a0appointment<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0with a doctor in our clinic for an initial consultation. In this case, too, the five-day reflection period applies after the consultation.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
