How To Confirm A Successful Medical Abortion?
hi, i had an induced abortion last night. i took mifepristone before that and last night i took misoprostol. at around 2am, my water broke but no fetus comes out. do i have to wait for at least 24hours? or do i need D&C right away? abortion is illegal here in Philippines. thanks!

Hello,
You will have to wait for 48 hours or the entire process to finish and Misoprost to work effectively. Only after 48hours when there is no bleeding or expulsion than only think of Dilation and curettage (D&C).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
