I am 12 weeks and 5 days pregnant. And it is an unwanted pregnancy so for an abortion we went to a gynecologist she said you have to take misoprostol before d&c 24 hours before. So when I searched about that it causes abortion automatically and opens the cervix and expels out fetus and then after 24 hours d&c is done by doctor. But my question is that is it necessary to get d&c done after taking dosage of misoprostol or simply wait for next menses. And regular check by ultrasound that abortion is complete or not. Kindly help me in this situation what to do?

Hi Gopala, since pregnancy is 12weeks big you should do it surgically that is D and C. Misoprost alone will create problem like heavy bleeding, incomplete abortion.

Actually it is better to abort in early weeks rather than waiting for long.After 12 weeks it really becomes a complicated procedure.Placental tissues will form more after 12 weeks and chances of them getting adherent or retained is more.To ensure completeness your doctor must have advised Dand C after the abortion.It is not that easy to abort a live pregnancy.
