Brief Answer:
no second ipill is not required.

Detailed Answer:
hello,
Thanks for the query to HCM,
If she has already taken an ipill within few hours of intercourse , then if she performs another intercourse within72 hrs of intake of pill , there is no requirement of another pill at all. The first pill shall take care of the emergency contraception.
After the ipill, the withdrawal bleeding should get initiated in next 7-8 days and once the bleeding starts , it confirms that she is pregnancy safe.
I hope i have answered your query in detail,
Wishing you good health,
Regards

Brief Answer:
hot fomentation over lower abdomen

Detailed Answer:
just keep her well hydrated at the moment. The uterine contractions may start as mild cramps before they initiate a full fledged bleed.
Use hot fomentation for relief.
