Short answer: a safe abortion is one that uses a WHO-recommended method, is appropriate for how far along the pregnancy is, and is performed or fully supported by a person with the necessary clinical skills in an environment that meets basic medical standards — so the risk of serious complications is minimal.

What “safe” means (plain terms)

The method used is recommended by the World Health Organization (examples: medication abortion with mifepristone ± misoprostol in early pregnancy; vacuum aspiration; or dilation & evacuation later in pregnancy) and matches the pregnancy gestational age.

The person providing the care has the necessary training and skills.

The setting meets basic medical standards (clean instruments, ability to treat complications, access to follow-up care).

Why this matters

When any of the above elements are missing, the procedure becomes less safe or unsafe — which increases the risk of severe bleeding, infection, infertility, or death. Unsafe abortions are mostly seen where legal, financial, geographic or social barriers limit access to quality care.

Practical advice (if you or someone needs care)

Seek care from a licensed clinic, hospital or trained provider. If medication abortion is being used, follow the provider’s instructions exactly.

Make a plan to access emergency care if needed. Go to emergency services if there is very heavy bleeding (soaking a pad every hour for 2+ hours), high fever, severe abdominal pain, fainting, or foul-smelling discharge.

Ask about contraception before leaving the service so you can avoid another unintended pregnancy.

Stay Safe!

Choosing medical vs. surgical abortion really comes down to your gestational age, health, and personal preference. Here’s some tips to help one decide:

🟢 Choose Medical Abortion if:

✔️You are early in pregnancy (less than 12 weeks).
✔️You want a more natural, private process that happens at home.
✔️You’re okay with heavier bleeding, cramping, and a longer process (hours to days).
✔️You can access a clinic if follow-up care is needed (in case it’s incomplete).

🟢 Choose Surgical Abortion if:

✔️You are between 4weeks-below 16 weeks pregnant.
✔️You want the procedure to be quick (10–20 minutes) and highly effective.
✔️You’d prefer less bleeding afterward and fewer follow-up visits.
✔️You have health issues that make medical abortion less safe (e.g., severe anemia, certain heart/liver/adrenal conditions).

You already tried a medical abortion and it was incomplete.

⚖️ In summary:

If you are early in pregnancy and prefer privacy → Medical abortion.

If you are later in pregnancy, want something fast, or want the highest certainty → Surgical abortion.

Abortion pills (usually a combination of mifepristone and misoprostol) are generally safe when used correctly under medical guidance, but like any medication, they can cause side effects. These can vary depending on the stage of pregnancy, dosage, and individual health.

Common Side Effects

✔️Heavy bleeding (heavier than a period, with clots) – usually lasts a few hours to a few days.
✔️Cramping and abdominal pain – stronger than menstrual cramps.
✔️Nausea and vomiting
✔️Diarrhea
✔️Fever, chills, or sweats (often temporary after misoprostol).
✔️Fatigue and general weakness.

Less Common but Possible Side Effects

✔️Headache
✔️Dizziness
✔️Breast tenderness
✔️Mild allergic reactions (rash, itching)

Serious Risks (Require Medical Attention)

Although rare, complications can happen:

❌Excessive bleeding (soaking more than 2 pads per hour for 2+ hours).
❌Severe abdominal pain not relieved by medication.
❌High fever (above 38°C / 100.4°F) lasting more than 24 hours.
❌Foul-smelling vaginal discharge (possible infection).
❌Incomplete abortion (if some pregnancy tissue remains in the uterus).

Important Notes

✅Abortion pills are safest when taken within the first 12 weeks of pregnancy.
✅A follow-up with a healthcare provider is usually recommended to ensure the abortion is complete.

They should not be used without proper medical guidance, especially in cases of ectopic pregnancy or certain health conditions.

Abortion pills usually don't have any effects on the breastfeeding baby, as very small amounts are able to pass through the breastmilk.

So if the unexpected happens, and opt for a termination, the Medical procedure can be one of the options available for you.

A Simple answer is; NOTHING will happen.

Abortion pills/Abortion medicine (Mifepristone and Misoprostol) usually don't cause ANY harm or complication, if taken accidentally, when someone is Not pregnant.

Incase this happens, one might experience some cramping, spotting, backpain, nausea/vomiting or diarrhea.

Normally, these symptoms disappear on their own in few hours, and does not need medical management.

What’s the difference between a surgical abortion and a medical abortion?

A , or in-clinic, abortion is a procedure in which a medical professional performs a procedure to evacuate the products of conception from the uterus through a means of suction. also commonly referred to as the manual vacuum aspiration( ).

The type of surgical procedure often depends on the gestational age of the pregnancy, calculated from the first day of last period, personal preferences, and in case of a medical indication.

The surgical abortion may last on average 10-20 minutes, and a person will be in the company of a medical professional for the entire procedure.
After the procedure, minimal bleeding maybe experienced, that lasts around 2-4 days

A , sometimes called the , involves two types of medicine.

Together, these two drugs bring about expelling of products of conception, a process that mimics a miscarriage, or a menstrual period.
Bleeding after pill use, lasts on average 5-14 days.

There are many reasons, both personal and medical, that a person may choose a surgical or medical abortion.

If no bleeding has occurred or you experienced very small bleeding, that should be a sign that the abortion pill didn't work.

There are two scenarios incase of a failed medical

• Continuing Pregnancy

are meant to remove the pregnancy tissue. If no bleeding happened or one had very light bleeding than what's expected for the gestation, it means the pregnancy will continue to grow and unfortunately the medicine can bring about malformation to the fetus incase one decides to carry till term.

• Incomplete Abortion

This is as a result of part of pregnancy tissue being expelled from the uterus, and other remaining inside the uterus.
It can happen as a result of wrong abortion pills, wrong dose, wrong usage instructions or one's body failing to respond to the abortion medicine.

Incase you suspect the Pills didn't work, IMMEDIATELY reach out to your healthcare provider for assistance,as this can cause OVERBLEEDING OR INFECTION OF THE UTERUS (PID).

After examination, you'll be explained whether you can repeat the process again using medicine or you'll be suited for the surgical procedure method (MVA)

(NB:ABORTION PILLS DON'T WORK ON ECTOPIC PREGNANCY)

Do not eat or drink anything for 30 minutes while you allow the to dissolve. After 30 minutes have passed, you can drink water to swallow the remnants of the pills and, in general, as much water as you need to feel hydrated.
