To ask how I can time my abortion?

Take them as planned and if needs be your husband will have to take a sick day.

I hope it goes smoothly for you, all the best.

Could he tell his boss you are sick and have parental / carers leave to look after the kids ? Are they very small ?

Regardless of which days he works, he should take leave or call in sick to support you.

He will have to call in sick if you don’t feel well enough. He was responsible as well for you falling pregnant.

My DD had one at 6 weeks, the first tablet caused her a lot of pain, she had to have a surgical procedure in the end which was ok. She had nurofen and codeine tablets - the nurofen did nothing, the codeine worked well.

Ah ok 👌
In that case, just go ahead and if you feel awful then he will have to call in sick; I hope it’s not too painful and upsetting for you.

Everyone is different and reacts to pain differently. Your dh should definitely take Friday off, no matter what. You will likely need emotional support too.

I had one at 6 weeks. Funnily enough I also took the first pills on a Wednesday, second pills on Thursday afternoon. The worst of the pain was on the Thursday evening/night, by the time I woke up on Friday morning most of the pain was over and was just bleeding like a heavy period. I went to work as normal.

May be different but I had to take the pills during a missed miscarriage in hospital years ago. I was 11 weeks at the time but foetus died at 8 weeks. I haemorrhaged and had to have emergency surgery. I don’t know how rare that risk is, or if it was worse because I was a bit further along but there you go. I wouldn’t have wanted to go through that alone with my DC around.

I had a MA a few weeks ago. Did the second lot of tablets early in the morning. I spent the day in bed with DP looking after our daughter. By tea time I was back downstairs as normal and the following day took her to a children’s festival

Your DH should ring in sick to look after the children. He's as responsible as you are for the pregnancy, you shouldn't be carrying all the burden of it.

My concern would be that not all women experience pain/bleeding right away. For a small but sizeable minority it can be delayed. So it might not actually start until Friday. To be safe I would get dh to have Friday off. If you were one of my women thats what I would advise.

I’d get your DH to phone in sick on the Friday if you feel rotten or take them Friday and then have the weekend to recover - u can’t think 2 days will make much difference.

It was just a typical period for me for 98% of the time and then a bit more for about 90 minutes and then normal.

I had MA at 6w, everyone is different but my experience was ok. It was more like a heavy period with a few cramps but it didn’t stop me doing normal day to day stuff. But as I said, everyone is different. I hope it goes well for you
