Brief Answer:
Pain is slightly more than periods pain

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Pain during abortion by misoprostol is slightly more than the pain in periods.
If pain is very severe, you can take any pain killer like mefenamic acid tablet.
Bleeding usually continues for 7-10 days.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
