ANSWER: Hello, Riya,
Did you measure your pregnancy from the day you think you conceived, or from the day you started your previous period?
Nobody knows how long a woman will bleed. It can last for weeks. Women are bleeding to death in India, so yes, it is dangerous. You need to see a doctor. You should also eat foods with red hot peppers, and make sure and drink fluids. No one knows when a woman's normal periods will resume, either. These pills are very powerful and poisonous. The manufacturer of one of them says a pregnant woman should never take it because it can kill her. So yes, by all means see a doctor. If you took anything in your vagina, also have the doctor test you to see if you have Clostridium sordellii in your body. If you do, he needs to start aggressive life-saving treatments immediately, because once you develop symptoms, they won't be able to save your life.
If you hadn't told your parents about your pregnancy, that was not a wise thing to do. Far too many women develop complications, and when they do, their parents will find out. They will also end up paying for medical care for their daughter. They have a right to know about the situation and to have a say in what their daughter does.
Please go see a doctor, and please take care of yourself. No more abortions. Abortion can kill you. Let me know how you do.

QUESTION: i got symptms like vomitng and weakness..these are the early stages of pregnancy..i searched about it and came to know that these are seen during 2 3 weeks of pregnancy..and the last time i had sex was 3 weeks before..
i want to ask that can doctr consult me a medicine which will imediately or stop the bleeding asap..
can i get my normal life back?
AnswerHello, Riya,
The symptoms you describe could also be due to a case of the flu. And many women never experience vomiting and weakness during pregnancy. I never did. If you hadn't been having sex, you wouldn't have suspected pregnancy. And you deserve to be free of the fear of pregnancy. If you are living with your parents and you are not married, you shouldn't be having sex. If you are pregnant and you experience vomiting, try sipping ginger tea.
I doubt if there is any medicine that will stop your bleeding immediately. All medicines of that sort are dangerous and can have side effects or other consequences. If you want to know what a doctor would do about your bleeding, you will need to go see one. I can't tell you what kinds of medicines are available, because I could get into a lot of trouble. So please go ask a doctor. Eat food with red hot peppers in it, and be patient. Ask the doctor to test you for Clostridium sordellii. This is very important. Please go to the doctor. Please don't ever take those pills again. They are dangerous.
Please take care. Let me know how you do, and when the bleeding stops for good.
