Understand that the procedure will performed by a doctor in a clinic or hospital.

Lay on your back with your feet in stirrups as you would for a gynecological exam, and receive an anesthetic shot in your cervix.

Relax as the doctor stretches your cervical muscles with a speculum until he is able to insert the tools into your uterus. The actual procedure only lasts a few minutes.

Rest as the doctor removes the placenta and fetus from the uterus with a suction device.

Recover for about 60 to 90 minutes. Your doctor will explain when you can resume normal activity.
