Hi im almost 7 weeks pregnant. Under medical grounds I must terminate this pregnancy. I have an appointment in a few days to take the 1st pill and then the next ones the following day. Can anybody give me a heads up on what to expect? And how to make it a little easier. I have so much anxiety around this. Much help appreciated 🙏

You’ll be told my the “experts” who give you the pill you’ll experience mild period like cramps - bullshit
they cramps fucking hurt, the passing of the gonna going to say cells (not wanting to add to the distress).
Take paracetamol every 4 hours.
it won’t be pleasant but no one does this because it’s the easy option

I had a medical abortion 4 weeks ago for personal reasons I worked out I was about 6/7 weeks, I didn't have any pain but I did bleed a lot for the first four hours it happened really quick then it was like a normal period. I didn't need any paracetamol or anything.

Hope it goes well for you everyone's different x

Is it very painful then? They were going to give me co codamol but I'm breastfeeding and I cant have them so it's paracetamol for me... is the pain manageable? I took my first tablet yesterday im due to take 4 at 9pm and let it happen
