Supportive, Professional Second Trimester Abortion Care at Femi-Care Surgery Center
Finding yourself needing abortion care in the second trimester can bring a whole new set of questions, and let’s be honest, a bit more urgency. Whether it’s because you didn’t know you were pregnant, something unexpected came up, or you simply needed time to decide, we want you to know: you still have safe, legal options.
Femi-Care Surgery Center, located in Lutherville, Maryland, provides expert second trimester abortion services for women across the state, including those coming from Essex, Maryland. Our clinic is easy to reach by car and designed to make you feel calm, comfortable, and in control of your care.
What Counts as Second Trimester Abortion?
The second trimester spans from week 13 to week 26 of pregnancy. At Femi-Care, we provide abortion services from 15 up to 22.6 weeks, depending on individual circumstances. These are done as surgical procedures, they’re safe, private, and handled with absolute professionalism by our experienced medical team.
Depending on how far along you are, the procedure may take one or two days.
1-Day Surgical Abortion (roughly 15 to 18 weeks)
In most cases, the process can be completed in a single visit. It involves gentle dilation of the cervix and removal of the pregnancy by a licensed provider under local or moderate sedation.
2-Day Surgical Abortion (18 to 22.6 weeks)
For pregnancies later in the second trimester, we schedule a two-day procedure. On day one, we prepare your body with medication to dilate the cervix. On day two, the procedure is completed in a safe, monitored setting. This two-step process is designed for your safety and comfort.
Why Travel from Essex, MD for Second Trimester Abortion?
It’s a fair question. If you’re coming from Essex, Maryland, why travel to Lutherville? The truth is, second trimester abortion isn’t always easy to access, even within Maryland. Not all clinics provide it, and not all providers have the experience and licensing required for later procedures.

Here’s why so many patients make the short drive:
- We offer appointments quickly, even for second trimester cases

- You’ll have the same compassionate care team from start to finish
- We explain what to expect, what’s normal to feel, and when to call us afterward
The clinic is quiet, private, and easy to access by road, no airports, no complicated logistics

You’ll leave with:
- A detailed aftercare guide
