Is It Safe Having An Abortion By Taking Mifepristone?
My age is 39, trying for a second child. Conceived via IUI but the baby did notgorw beyond 6.5 weeks. So, I have been given Mifepristone today. Am nervous to take the Misoprostone at home after 48 hours thinking that my bleeding would be high and pain would be unbearable. I want to stay in the hospital when i take the tablet, but my gynae says it is safe to take at home. Pls advise.
Hello dear Understand your concern. You should always take this abortion drug under the supervision of gynecologist. You should use this drugs up to 9 week of pregnancy. First you have to undergo USG to confirm the intrauterine pregnancy and gestational age of pregnancy.
Yes you can take misoprostol tablet under the guidance of gynecologist. It cause minor bleeding, removal of blood clots and abdominal cramps as misoprostol can cause uterine contraction with in 24 hours.
But if you are anxious you can tell the gynecologist to put tablet vaginally at the hospital . But remember also Do follow up USG after one week to confirm the incomplete abortion. Also check for foul smells vaginal discharge to prevent infections. Use condom and contraceptive pills to prevent unwanted pregnancies.
Hope this may help you Best regards Dr. Sagar
