Question : hi Doctor,

We are going for pregnancy termination [13 weeks] and the doctor has given us Mifegest 200mg. Its been 24 hours and my wife started bleeding. the doctor has asked us to get admitted after 48 hours of taking the pill. But since she is bleeding is it necessary to get her admitted immediately or we have to wait for the 48 hours?

Wait for 48 hours.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Mild amount of bleeding is normal after taking Mifegest. It is best to wait for 48 hours and let the pains start and then you get her admitted as per the doctor's advise.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
