If you are unsure whether you want to continue with your pregnancy, you can come to us for a free consultation. In order to perform an abortion, it is a legal requirement that a consultation must take place (Section 219 of the German Criminal Code).

Following the consultation, you will be issued with a certificate to take with you. The gynecological practice performing the termination will require this consultation certificate.

Every pregnant woman/person who has had the consultation is entitled to the consultation certificate, regardless of what was discussed. The consultation can also be anonymous.

The following topics can be discussed during the consultation:

• Different methods of abortion

• Coverage of the costs of the abortion

• Advice on contraceptive methods and free contraception

• Information on social and financial assistance during pregnancy and for families

• Psychosocial support in decision-making

• Discussions about ambivalent feelings

• Who offers abortions in Hamburg? You can find a list of addresses here.
