Early medical abortion at home... Terrifed

Just inserted the four misoprostol. I didn't think I'd be this scared but I'm shaking.

I've got paracetamol, ibuprofen, dihydrocodeine and a hot water bottle on hand.

I'm just under eight weeks.

Happy to hear about anyone's experiences if they feel like sharing.

No experience but of course it’s perfectly normal to feel like this, take it slow, do something to take your mind off it, watch tv or listen to some music.

I think it's just the fear of the unknown.

I've had two miscarriages, one lasted over a week because I didn't know what was happening so didn't seek help. I know logically I can get through this but my god I can't stop trembling.

I've started bleeding now and my teeth are chattering like mad, I'm assuming things are going in the right direction now. I feel horrible 😔

Thank you for your replies.

It was over pretty quickly but I'm still having pain four days later. I suppose that's normal?

Feeling pretty depressed and rubbish but I'm guessing that's normal too!

As someone who has recently been through this myself. I do hope you’re okay 🫂 it’s a lot to go through, I definitely feel they make it seem easier than it is. Physically and mentally it takes a lot from you. 🫂
