I’m taking the abortion pill this Friday. What can I expect?

Hi! I’m mid 20’s and in Canada. I’m on the birth control pill but my period is late by a few days so I decided to take an at home pregnancy test. The line is faint but it’s there and only gotten darker. I was able to make an appointment at a women’s clinic for this coming Friday and opted for the abortion pill rather than surgical abortion.

I don’t know what to expect or what to think. I know I will take 1 pill at the clinic and another 24-48 hours later at home is what the nurse said when I made the appointment. The rest I’m not sure of.

Should I take work off for the few days after taking the pill? What will happen to me? If I live with family who I cannot tell about this, would it be wise for me to stay somewhere else after taking the medication?

Additionally, how do I not fall into the trap thinking of “this is my baby” etc? I WANT an abortion. This is what I want. I’m confident in my choice. But the thought just crept in the back of my head and I cannot doubt myself right now. I’m scared if I think about it too much it’ll be too hard for me to handle.

I know this may be sensitive for some, especially those whose right to an abortion and female health care was taken away so recently in the US. I appreciate any advice or insight you have for me 💗 thank you
