Is It Safe To Breastfeed A Baby While Taking Tablets For Aborting A Fetus?
Hi, I am 30 years old 85 kg. I have a 10 month old baby whom I am still breast feeding.I have conceived and the fetus is 4 weeks old. Is it ok to go for abortion by medicines? Will I be able to continue to breast feed my baby during medication? If breast feeding is stopped for some reason during the medication, after the medicines have stopped how soon will I be able to start the same and for how long?

Hello,
It is possible that the medication could be excreted in breast milk, so it is a good idea for women who are breastfeeding to discard milk they have produced during the medical abortion procedure. You can continue to breastfeed your baby once you are off with the medication.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
