Whether a business is large or small, one of the benefits employees consider is the type of health insurance they offer. Healthcare costs today make health insurance a must when considering a job. However, most health insurance policies only cover legally married spouses and dependent children.
Contact your health insurance provider for more updated information about your insurance coverage to see if they pay for your girlfriend.
Steps to Take Before an Abortion
Has your girlfriend confirmed her pregnancy? Pregnancy testing and an ultrasound are essential for safeguarding your girlfriend’s health and determining if the pregnancy is viable (growing) or if she’s had a miscarriage. Experts estimate over one in four pregnancies end in an early miscarriage.
Ultrasound
The information you get from an ultrasound is essential. For instance, the FDA approves the use of the abortion pill method only through 10 weeks of pregnancy. The farther along your girlfriend is in her pregnancy, the less effective the abortion drugs are.
An ultrasound detects how far along she is, if she’s had a miscarriage, and the location of the pregnancy. Although rare, the wrong location could be a life-threatening health issue.
Getting the Facts About Abortion
Although we don’t perform or refer for abortion, we can answer your questions about abortion procedures, the side effects to expect, and any risks involved.
Having an abortion is a major medical decision. Once your girlfriend has confirmed her pregnancy, she should speak with a healthcare provider about any medications she’s currently taking and health concerns, including her mental health.
