Due to the risk of infection we would recommend that you do not have sex for 4 weeks.
Travelling/Holidays Outside the UK
It is not advisable to go on holiday anywhere until you have had a 4 week check-up and negative pregnancy test. Your travel insurance company may not cover any problems incurred if you have not informed them.
You are advised not to swim for 4 weeks due to the risk of infection.
Post Abortion Emotional Support
You may experience a range of emotions and feelings before, during and after any procedure. Counselling is a talking therapy that involves a trained therapist listening to you and helping you find ways to deal with emotional issues. This service is available to you at any point during this time and you can access it
pre and post treatment. To request counselling, you can call our Call Centre Team or speak to a nurse or receptionist at the clinic. Staff at NUPAS are highly trained and experienced in providing impartial advice and counselling.
