Hi im from the Philippines and abortion is illegal here. Im still breatfeeding my 14 month old and I think I might be pregnant. I cant go through another pregnancy so soon because Im a single mom and I cant support another baby. Whats a safe way to abort while breatfeeding? Please help.
Hello dear Understand your concern Mifepristone plus misoprostol is safe during the breast feeds. But it should be taken under supervision and guidance of gynecologist. Do not take at home by yourself as it cause threatening complication that require immediately surgery. First intrauterine pregnancy should be check by USG scan. if it will confirm, you can use abortion pill. By method: 1st day: mifepristone 600 mg orally Day 7: follow up visit if bleeding continuous 3rd day: 400 ug misoprostol vaginally by gynecologist. If required another 40 ug after 4 hours.
Abortion process will complete in 4-5 days and will not affect the brest feeding. Rest for 48 hours, analgesic, healthy diet should help in fast recovery, Hope this may help you Best regards Dr. Sagar
