ANSWER: Hello, Manish,
I guess it all depends on whether you want to hurt your wife. What she has been doing is very dangerous, and is unlikely to work. In fact, the manufacturer of Misoprostol says a pregnant woman should NEVER take it. This is because it can kill her, and sometimes it only takes hours. There are women bleeding to death after taking it. A woman can also get toxic shock syndrome and this also kills within hours. It is caused by Clostridium sordellii, and it's because the woman's body doesn't fight back. So it just rips through her system and kills her. An abortionist will say it's safe, but don't believe them. They want your money, and they don't care. So many abortionists have killed several women. No reputable doctor would EVER counsel your wife to take these powerful drugs. If you bought it from someone, please know that self-medication is a very bad idea. Regardless of whether she manages to avoid any immediate complications, it will greatly increase her risk of getting a deadly form of breast cancer, while she is still young. If at this point you leave your wife alone, it is unlikely there will be any problems.
I am not a doctor, so I can't give you the information you are asking for, because I would be practicing medicine without a license, and I could get into a lot of trouble. If I were a doctor, I would have to violate my own oath to give you this information. Furthermore, an ethical doctor would never give a woman powerful medications without checking her medical history, warning her about possible complications and death, and watching her closely. He sure wouldn't send your wife home to do this by herself. If there is a complication, there would be no help for her. So as a doctor, I would never help you do this. And anyway, I'm sure not going to help you hurt or possibly kill your wife.
Your wife deserves your protection. Our bodies were designed to protect our children, and the only way an abortion can be done is to harm us in some way. It's medically unethical. Your baby ALSO deserves your protection. Since you are married, there is absolutely nothing wrong with having a baby. If you feel you can't raise a baby, you can choose adoption. If you are having financial difficulties, there are organizations out there who will help you solve these problems.
You can find such an organization by going here:

Choose "Australia" from the country list.
Please protect and cherish your wife. She deserves better. Don't make her take this awful chance. Please take care of her, and let me know how things go. If you need any real help, I will do what I can to help you.

AnswerHello, Manish,
Thank you for getting back to me. I have already told you I am not a doctor.
I can understand your concern that whatever happened has happened. And you are right to be scared. But by far the safest thing to do at this point is leave things alone! The likelihood is that either she will eventually miscarry, or she will be OK. Really. Just to make sure, please have her see a decent and ethical doctor.
You should NOT try to carry this out. There are too many things that CAN go wrong. We haven't talked about the dangers of surgical abortion, but there are so many things that can go wrong that people have written entire books about them.
Also, please be aware that there are emotional problems that often happen after abortion. For example, a woman can become suicidal. Some women also abuse drugs or alcohol.
Go to the organization I recommended, and they will recommend a doctor. He can advise you further. Please take care of your wife and don't harm her any further. Keep her safe! Please keep in touch.
