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?

If you missed the first dose of Mifepristone, it's essential to consult the prescribing doctor or a healthcare provider for guidance; taking only the second and third doses (Misoprostol) may not be effective in inducing abortion, and the regimen's efficacy and safety may be compromised; seek medical advice to discuss the best course of action and potential alternatives

I'm 10 weeks pregnant but it doesn't really feel like it. I had a scan at 7 weeks and 4 days and everything looked good, but I'm really worried because I haven't had many pregnancy symptoms. Is this normal? Can you help me understand what's going on?

Not experiencing noticeable pregnancy symptoms, also known as a "quiet pregnancy," is relatively common, affecting up to 50% of women; given your 7-week scan showed everything was fine, and you're only 10 weeks along, try to stay calm and focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, but to alleviate concerns, consider discussing your symptoms (or lack thereof) with your healthcare provider or obstetrician.
