Hi I'm probably overreacting but I'm on my own rn so would like some advice on whether what I've just experienced is normal or not?
I'm 8+5 weeks pregnant and undergoing a medical abortion. I took the first pill about 4 and a half hours ago, all has been relatively fine apart from feeling a bit dizzy.
About ten minutes ago, I got this wave of intense lower back pain, like, so bad I went lightheaded. I managed to take some ibuprofen and crawl into bed. It's now gone and I feel basically fine again. No blood or anything. Is this a normal side effect to the first pill? When I was first pregnant (like 4-6 weeks) I had back pain in the same region, so maybe it's just where my body is feeling the pregnancy? I've not had a scan but the midwife said it's likely not ectopic because my fallopian tube would have likely burst weeks ago and I wouldn't have got this far.
