Is throwing up during a medical abortion just “part of the process?”

[Bonerevolver]

I am a single mother of 3DC and I am accidentally pregnant. I don’t want another child and I have been sent the pills by post from the gynae centre.

I have a very short timeframe / window to take the pills because I cannot be away for long from the children and I am trying to find childcare to cover it.

Almost every story on here I have read about medical abortion involves vomiting. Either after taking the mifepristone or after taking the misoprostol. You see - I am a single mum of 3DC, I went through pregnancy and birth and everything, abs I deal with them being sick I, but I am emetphobic and I simply cannot let myself do something that is likely to make me vomit.

I have a really high pain tolerance, it would not make a difference to me if someone told me they were in agony. It’s just the sickness.

I have some anti emetics (as all emetophobics do.)

Please can you tell me your experiences of this?

I don't think it is universal at all, if you managed 3 pregnancies, you have got this. Take the pills with your anti-Semitic and some pain killers, you will be fine. [Flowers]

What a terrible auto-correct anti-emetic clearly.

Never had sickness or any nausea at all with mine.

I had a medical termination a month ago at 10+ weeks.

I have a high pain threshold too and have given birth before.

I had the first pill and 3 days later took the other 4 vaginally. My experience was that I had taken no anti sickness pills and just paracetamol for the pain.

An hour after the 4 pills the waters popped, I stood up and had very mild period cramps and the foetus came out, followed by placenta 30 mins later.

No sickness, no pain. The relief after was immense and I was really worried about being sick because I am petrified of it! I know all experiences are different but wanted to tell you it can be very straightforward.

I didn't have any sickness.

I've had several medicals (forced due to severely abusive relationship) and was seriously sick with all of them

I didn't vomit. Or feel sick.

I have had two of these tablet managed procedures and not been sick or had nausea with either.
