Question : My wife is around 10 weeks pregnant. Earlier we were planning carry this baby. However now due to some issues we are thinking to abort this time. Will that be fine to take Combikit of mifepristone & misoprostol tablets. Please note it is her first pregnancy. Kindly suggest.

Brief Answer:
Medical method not possible at this stage

Detailed Answer:
Hello sir, thanks for trusting health care magic.

No dear it is not safe to opt for abortion at this stage and if at all absolutely necessary then surgical evacuation is the only option.

But at this stage since the bones of the baby start forming always go to an experienced gynecologist.
Mifepristone and misoprostol will not help at this stage.

In case you have any other question please feel free to ask.
