Your D&E Procedure Experience: What to Expect
A D&E (dilation and evacuation) procedure is a safe and effective method for abortion in the second trimester, typically performed between 17 and 25 weeks. At DuPont Clinic, we use an evidence-based, patient-centered approach to ensure the highest standard of care. Our process is designed to prioritize your comfort, privacy, and well-being at every step.
The Two-Day D&E Process
Your care starts with a pre-procedure appointment, where you’ll meet with your Patient Care Guide. This specialist walks you through what to expect, answers all your questions, and ensures you feel supported. You’ll meet with both a nurse and a physician to review your medical history and discuss the procedure in detail.
- First Day: You’ll have an ultrasound, meet your care team, and receive medications to gently open (dilate) your cervix.
- Second Day: The actual D&E procedure takes place in a private room, using gentle techniques guided by ultrasound for safety and comfort.
In some cases, especially after 24 weeks or based on your personal medical history, a third day may be recommended for additional cervical preparation. Your physician will discuss this with you if necessary.
