Make sure you bring the right papers and clothing (if needed). Will you have suction curettage or a day treatment under sedation? It\u2019s key that you have been fasting and have an empty stomach. This means that from 3 hours before the treatment you are not allowed to eat anything. You can drink water up until your appointment.<em> <\/em>Also, in the 24 hours prior to the treatment, you can\u2019t take any drugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"choosing-the-treatment\">Choosing the treatment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you book an appointment, we will ask you which treatment you have chosen. Which treatment is suitable for you depends, among other things, on how long you have been pregnant and your personal preference. To find your options, please use our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloemenhove.nl\/#Keuzetool\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow\">selection tool<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please first read the information on this website before you call us. With this information you can choose the treatment that is most suitable for you. Of course you are free to change your mind, even during the consultation with one of our doctors. But please keep in mind that you may not be able to be treated the same day and you will have to book a new appointment. This means you may have to wait a bit longer for your treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-d05a31d1 has-text-align-center Bloemenhove-Losse-Quote\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\u201c<em>I wanted to let you know that the way you treated me has helped me enormously with the emotional process of dealing with the experience.
