Q13. What is a ‘late term abortion?’

A13. This is the name given to an abortion which is carried out at a late stage of a pregnancy. It is usually performed between 20 to 24 weeks of pregnancy.

This is a much more complex procedure with a longer recovery period. If you choose a private clinic for this then it will cost around £1,700 to £2,000 or more.
