MA and going to work after first pill

I have had a telemedicine appointment this evening with MSI who have confirmed they will be posting the pills to my address so I expect them to be here by Thursday..

I am a solo mother of three - I have a wonderful supportive partner but he is a dad himself with a child that has additional medical needs. I also work full time.

Would I be fit to work between taking the first pill (for example Thursday evening) and then go onto the second step (Friday evening if it's 24 hours later)? MSI website states most people can continue doing their normal every day activities.

I am hesitant to take time off work because I will need to drop my kids to school in the morning (no one to do that for me) and as odd as it sounds, I'm one of those people who prefer to be in work as a distraction. I did plan on taking the second lot of pills in time for the weekend when my partner will be around to help with the kids and be there for me. He currently doesn't live with me but is around enough as it is. My kids are also a lot older so fairly independent that I can rest in bed etc.

I hope this makes sense. I'm in my 40s and my mind is a bit over the place at the minute I just want this done.

Thank you in advance

I was fine, felt nothing. you should be fine. Good luck.

I had no symptoms at all after taking the first pill. You should be totally fine to carry on as usual Friday.

Thanks both. I will hopefully take them tomorrow evening (they are expected to be there) and then get to work on Friday. The plan will be to have the misoprostol early Saturday morning. My kids will be at home but thankfully two of them are teens and will be in their rooms so hopefully it will be manageable.
