Abortions can only be carried out in an NHS hospital or a licensed clinic, and are available free of charge on the NHS. Waiting times can vary, but you shouldn’t have to wait more than two weeks from your initial appointment to having an abortion. Abortions can also be paid for privately if you prefer. Costs for private abortions vary depending on the stage of pregnancy and the method used to carry out the procedure.

Most abortions in England, Wales and Scotland are carried out before 24 weeks of pregnancy. They can be carried out after 24 weeks in certain circumstances – for example, if the mother’s life is at risk or the child would be born with a severe disability. The length of your pregnancy is calculated from the first day of your last period. If you’re not sure how long you’ve been pregnant, you may need an ultrasound scan to check. Abortions are simpler and safer the earlier they’re carried out. Getting advice early on will give you more time to make a decision if you’re unsure.
