View allI'm a bit concerned because I took misoprostol after getting advice from a gynecologist, and now it's the third day, and I'm still experiencing irregular bleeding. I was 6 weeks pregnant when I took the abortion pill. Is this kind of bleeding normal, or should I be worried?
After taking misoprostol for a medical abortion at 6 weeks of pregnancy, it is normal to experience irregular bleeding for up to 1-2 weeks. If the bleeding is heavy or persists beyond 2 weeks, please consult your gynecologist. You can take ibuprofen for pain relief and consider using sanitary pads instead of tampons to reduce the risk of infection.

I'm just wondering if I'll need to have a cervical stitch if we decide to go for a second pregnancy. Last time, during my second trimester, I had a cervical cerclage because of two previous miscarriages. My first child is 2 years old now, and I'm curious if this procedure would be necessary again. Any advice you could share would be really helpful.
Since you had a cervical cerclage during your second trimester in your previous pregnancy due to a risk of miscarriage, it's possible that your doctor may recommend a cervical stitch again for a subsequent pregnancy kindly consult your gynecologist
