Abortion process? I’m so scared

Question

Hi! Can somebody who’s been through the medical abortion process walk me through it step by step? What happens at the first visit? What do they do? How many pills does it take? What should I expect. I’m about 4 weeks pregnant...have an appointment for next week. Will baby have a heartbeat? Will I pass something that looks like a baby? Please help, I am freaking myself out. I had a baby 2.5 months ago and I can NOT do it again.

Answer

When I went to planned parenthood they confirmed the pregnancy and went over some medical questions. They ask if I was being forced to have this procedure and they asked if I had proper support and someone with me in case something went wrong. They do an ultrasound but they won't show you anything unless you ask. They tell you how the procedure will go, what to expect, and information on if you have questions once you go home. They make you take some pills while there. They will then fax some prescriptions to your pharmacy usually pain medication to belong with cramping. 24 hours later you will take the next set of meds and follow the directions. From there give it a few hours and you'll start bleeding. You won't be able to see anything. Felt like a really heavy painful period. I'm used to those anyways so it wasn't much different than what I normally experience. Overall it wasn't bad and bleeding lasted a week. Before I left the office they set me up with another appointment for two weeks to make sure everything was passed and nothing was left behind
