Also, from experience I know any future sex is going to be far from her mind during the pain and aftermath. (Also not medically allowed for a while.) But whatever happened, talk to her about Plan B in case something unexpected ensues like unprotected sex, failure of method, forgotten pill. It's easy to get and can be tucked in a drawer.


Long acting reversible contraception like an implant is a good idea. She's had one BC failure and while it might make her wise up, you need a new plan.


Thank you for this. I had not considered it but it’s a very good idea.

To all who responded, thank you. I am flying to her this weekend.

I have actually used this to terminate a pregnancy. Do it as early as possible. Fly out now and do it asap. The longer you wait the harder it gets--emotionally too. Expediency is key.


PS. They will generally recommend taking it in the evening along with pain meds to sleep through the worst of it. Please do it early because if you wait, not only is the pain worse but based on my experience with a natural miscarriage a bit later, it's much more identifiable and it is more difficult emotionally.

I had a miscarriage at six weeks and it was basically just a slightly heavy period for me. Obviously it will be different with medication but it shouldn't be too much worse than that.

Sooner is definitely better.

Stop.

OP's daughter made her decision.

OP did not ask your opinion she asked for information.

Keep your pro birth shit to your own body and MYOB.


How do you know OPs daughter wants to have an abortion? I didn’t read that at all in the post.

I think this is OP trying to push her values, such as they are, on her daughter who is probably grappling with uncertainty.


DP again, just stop. OP is not asking on your views on abortion. She has communicated with her daughter and that’s all you need to know.

OP the sooner you get this done, the better.


She’s not asking yours either, just for the record.


And I didn’t give one. But thanks!

It's not 7 weeks though. If she knows she's pregnant now it's a minimum of 9.


You’re absolutely right. Fly out there now and get it over with as soon as possible.

The sooner the better. In her shoes, I would not wait weeks (during which she will likely be feeling pregnancy-related symptoms while attempting to take exams) to do this. I would do it this weekend.
