https://wa.me/message/345UEAPTL3IBB1
In an early medical abortion, two separate drugs are taken to stop a pregnancy. This can be done at home and at a time that suits you, but it must be started at or before 9 weeks of pregnancy. Early medical abortion provides you with some privacy and control.
Before deciding on an early medical abortion, it's important to understand what to expect, how to prepare and any side effects or complications that may occur.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Early medical abortion occurs over two steps. Two different medicines are taken 24-36 hours apart.
Step 1 uses a medicine called Mifepristone. Most people will not notice any effect after taking this medicine.
Step 2 uses a medicine called Misoprostol. This is when the abortion occurs. It is important to be in a safe, quiet place and rest as much as you can. Cramps and bleeding are expected and will be less once the pregnancy has passed. Regular pain relief and anti-nausea tablets are essential, especially in the first 24 hours.
After the procedure
Bleeding will be less and less each day. It may last for 10-16 days and may continue for up to 30 days.
For 14 days after the abortion do not place anything into your va**na. This is to reduce the chance of infection. It includes no:
va**nal s*x
tampons or menstrual cups. Use pads instead
swimming
baths; however, showering
