You must have an abortion in hospital if you:
  • are more than 9 weeks pregnant
  • have any medical conditions or health-related illness - such as severe anaemia, pre-existing heart disease or severe cardiovascular disease
  • have become pregnant despite using an intrauterine device (IUD) — an IUD is a contraceptive device, it used to be called a 'coil' or a 'loop'

If you need to go to a hospital to have an abortion, your GP will refer you.
