This legal deadline is linked to the viability limit of the fetus. In practice, each clinic varies up to how many weeks they treat. This has to do with medical guidelines, safety and the degree of specialized care required as the pregnancy progresses.   <\/p>\n<p>At Mildred Clinics you can get abortion treatment up to 18 weeks of pregnancy at our clinics in Arnhem and Eindhoven. If you are more than 18 weeks pregnant, we will refer you to specialized clinics, such as Bloemenhove Clinic in Amsterdam\/Heemstede or the Vrelinghuis in Utrecht. They treat up to 22 weeks of pregnancy.  <\/p>\n<p>Since the change in the law, there is no longer a legal reflection period. You decide how much time you need to make a choice.
