Driving for Abortion: San Antonio to New Mexico Guide
Driving for Abortion. San Antonio to New Mexico.
Driving for Abortion: Transportation After the Abortion Pill
If you’re traveling from San Antonio to the Women’s Reproductive Clinic (WRC) in New Mexico for care, you may be wondering: Do I need someone to drive me after taking the abortion pill? The answer is—probably not.
At WRC, we offer safe, same-day abortion pill care for Texans without unnecessary restrictions. That includes giving you a realistic understanding of what your recovery looks like and what kind of support (if any) you’ll need to get home.
San Antonio to New Mexico: Here’s What Happens at WRC
When you arrive at WRC, you’ll receive:
- A private ultrasound
- A consultation with our experienced OB/GYN
- The first abortion pill (mifepristone), taken in-clinic
- Misoprostol tablets to take later at home
Because the first pill does not cause immediate symptoms, you are safe to drive yourself or travel solo after your visit—no driver required.

When Will I Start Feeling Symptoms?
Most patients take the second medication, misoprostol, 24–48 hours later, at home or wherever you feel comfortable. That’s when cramping, bleeding, and pregnancy tissue expulsion begin. We recommend being somewhere private with access to pads, pain relief, and rest.
You do not need to stay overnight in New Mexico. You can return to San Antonio right after your appointment.
Planning Your Ride After the Abortion Pill
Because your symptoms won’t begin until hours later, you have flexibility:
- Driving yourself: Safe if you’re feeling well
- Rideshare: Many patients use Uber or Lyft to/from El Paso
- Friend or partner: Optional, but can be helpful for moral support
- Public transportation: Fine if you’re comfortable, but not required
What About Emergencies?
True complications are rare. Still, we send all patients home with a complete aftercare guide, a 24/7 nurse hotline, and clear instructions. If you need help, you won’t be alone.
