Hi!

I can understand your concern.

There is no harm in continuing the current pregnancy as your first child is already 1.5 yrs old, by the time you will deliver he will be nearly 2.5 yrs and you can take care of both, is it not?

Since you wish not to continue the pregnancy I would advise you to consult an obstetrician because it is NOT safe to terminate the pregnancy without consulting a doctor.

The doctor will evaluate your case, an ultrasound would be undertaken to confirm the duration of the pregnancy (IT SHOULD NOT BE MORE THAN 7 WEEKS DURATION) & the location (IT SHOULD NOT BE AN ECTOPIC PREGNANCY).

The doctor will then prescribe you the medicines Mifepristone & Misoprostol.
One tablet of Mifepristone to be taken orally first, then after 24 hours remaining 4 tablets of Misoprostol are to be taken orally at once.
Abortion occurs within 6 hours to 5 days.

After the bleeding stops, it is obligatory to confirm complete abortion by an ultrasound by a gynecologist.

Hope the suggestion given above could be useful, but DO NOT forget the first opinion.

Take care.

A feed back is appreciated.
