I'm 10 weeks pregnant and recently had an incomplete abortion, so I went through a D&C procedure on June 9th. Now, I've noticed there's some swelling in my abdomen, and it's quite painful. I only had bleeding for 2 to 3 days after the D&C. Is this normal? Should I be worried?

Swelling and pain in the abdomen can be common after a D&C procedure. However, if the symptoms are severe or persistent, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider. In the meantime, you can take Ibuprofen 400mg every 6 hours as needed for pain relief. Make sure to rest and avoid strenuous activities. If the symptoms worsen or you experience heavy bleeding, seek medical attention immediately.

I'm a little worried because I didn't take the first dose of mifepristone like I was supposed to. If I go ahead with the second and third doses, will the abortion pill still work, or is it necessary to have taken the first dose for it to be effective?

My girlfriend and I just found out she's pregnant, and we're really worried about what to do next. We're not married and we're wondering if we can still visit a doctor for MTP treatment. Can you help us figure this out?
