Sometimes early delivery may be recommended because the baby is large.

I'm supposed to get my period tomorrow, but it hasn't started yet. I'm feeling those usual period pains, but nothing's happening. Can you suggest some home remedies to help kickstart my period right away?

There is no reason to be concerned if your periods are due the next day. You should allow time for your normal menstrual cycle to take place. If your period is delayed by a more than 1 week, then you should visit the gynecologist for further evaluation.

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
