Understanding Post-Abortion Bleeding & Misoprostol Use: A Medical Perspective

Question
hi Im  from Philippines me and my girlfriend found out she was pregnant for 7 weeks we decided to abort the fetus since I'm a nurse i have an idea how to do it. its actually the second time that we would do it I'm using misoprostol I inserted 1 misoprostol 200mg to her vaginally and she had a bleeding after 5hours just like a normal period without tissue coming out from her unlike before we also used only 1 tablet vaginally but she had a heavy bleeding with lot of tissue coming out. is her abortion successful? or do I need to insert another misoprostol? I can go on any doctors here because its illegal here. thanks!

Answer
Jonathan,

I hope your girlfriend is ok. You should not have risked her life for this, in my opinion. Please let me know if she is ok. I don't recommend abortion in any case. It is too risky, in my opinion, and kills your baby. Email me at CHERYL51@aol.com as I am concerned for her.
