Unintended pregnancy

Are you in a conflict situation? Do you have questions and need information for your decision? Would you like a neutral discussion about your personal situation?

At our advice center, you can discuss your situation in peace and you will receive all the information you need to make a self-determined decision. If you wish, we can refer you to other internal and external services. If you decide to terminate your pregnancy, we will initiate the necessary steps for a medical or surgical abortion. As a rule, a vaginal ultrasound examination is carried out before the abortion.

We are also there for you after the abortion. If you have any questions about contraceptive methods or other sexual health issues, you can also contact us.

If you wish, you can also come to the consultation with your partner or significant other.

Termination of pregnancy can be performed using medication (up to nine weeks of pregnancy) or surgically (suction method). At your first appointment, after a gynecological examination with ultrasound, you will be informed about the procedure of the method you have chosen. The medical abortion is usually started on one of the following days and a follow-up check takes place two weeks later.

Abortions in Switzerland are regulated by the time limit solution (Art. 119 + 120 of the Swiss Criminal Code). During the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, you as a woman can decide whether you want to carry the pregnancy to term, terminate it or give the child up for adoption after birth. For an abortion after the 12th week of pregnancy, there must be a medically justified reason.

The costs of an abortion are covered by health insurance (less deductible and excess).
