Your privacy is very important to us. A treatment in our clinic is completely anonymous. Without your consent we do not give any information about you to others. Not to your partner, parents or family. Nor to your general practitioner. You do not receive any mail at home and we do not inform your health insurer. We use your personal data only for our own administration and to call you if there is a change in the schedule. We use a secure client portal. This contains, for example, preparation documents and aftercare instructions. For this we ask for your email address. At the end of your treatment you receive a letter for your general practitioner in the client portal. You can forward this to your GP yourself. After a suction treatment or instrumental treatment you receive a short course of antibiotics from us. We give you these tablets to take with you.

Unplanned pregnancy | Take the time to make your choice

Q: How much time do I have to make a decision?

It is important that you take the time to reach a decision that feels right for you and your situation. The choice to end or continue the pregnancy is always yours. Do you find it difficult to make a choice? Or do you need more information? You can come to us for a conversation. We guide you in finding the right support. At Mildred Clinics we can treat women up to 18 weeks of pregnancy. In the Netherlands a termination of pregnancy is possible up to 22 weeks at Bloemenhove Kliniek in Amsterdam/Heemstede and the Vrelinghuis in Utrecht.

Q: I am not yet 16 years old. Do I need permission from my parent(s)?

If you are younger than 16 years old, the law requires you to have permission from your parent(s) or guardian for a medical treatment. Do you not dare to tell them that you are pregnant? Or can you not get permission? You can still make an appointment at our clinic. If our doctor finds that you are well able to assess the consequences of your choices, permission from your parents or guardian is not needed.

Q: I am not from the Netherlands. Can I come to you?

Yes, that is certainly possible. We help all women who need our help. However, you will then have to pay for the abortion treatment yourself. Contact us for the costs and options.

Q: How do I know which treatment suits me?

Which treatment suits your situation? Every way of ending a pregnancy has advantages and disadvantages. The choice of treatment depends on how far along your pregnancy is and on your medical history. Of course we guide you in your decision, with our knowledge and care. So that you always feel safe and at ease. Read more

Unplanned pregnancy

You are unplanned pregnant. What choice will you make? A choice that fits your life and your future. Do you continue the pregnancy, or do you choose an abortion? Whatever you choose, it’s okay.

Take your time

Every feeling counts. Every emotion is allowed to be there. Whether you are very doubtful or have already made the choice quickly. Tell your story, ask your questions and above all … take your time. At Mildred Clinics, we listen to you without judgment. We also offer you support and correct information to make the choice that fits your situation. After all, it’s your body, your decision.

If you choose abortion treatment, we provide professional and safe care.

Abortion treatment at Mildred Clinics is available from 5 to 18 weeks of pregnancy. Depending on how long you are pregnant, different treatments are available:

the abortion pill from 5 to 9 weeks of pregnancy
a suction treatment from 5 to 13 weeks of gestation
instrumental treatment from 13 to 18 weeks of gestation

Intake interview and treatment

During the intake interview, you will discuss with a doctor and usually a nurse your situation, options and any questions or doubts you may have. An ultrasound will be taken to determine how long you have been pregnant. Do you opt for abortion treatment? Then together we determine which treatment suits you and make an appointment, usually the same day.

Together we talk about contraception and its options in our clinic.

Other options

Would you like to talk further about alternatives to terminating your pregnancy, such as adoption, foster care or raising a child yourself? Do you have doubts or really don’t know what to do? There are many decision aid organizations that can support you in this, see infopuntonbedoeldzwanger.nl.

My (ex-)partner is unplanned pregnant

An unintended pregnancy often has a (major) impact on your relationship and future. Ultimately, as a (former) partner, you do not determine what happens with the pregnancy. In this situation, you have no control over an important part of your life. Of course, this does not mean that you have no role or that it does not affect you.

You may, of course, accompany your (former) partner to support her during her visit to the clinic. In the frequently asked questions you can read what you may and may not be present for.

Expertise center FIOM offers you support as a partner and provides more information.
