I'm really concerned because my wife is two months pregnant and she's been vomiting a lot. The doctor gave her Ondem MD 4 to take twice a day, but I'm just worried if it's safe for her and our baby. Should we be cautious? Also, should she take it before or after meals? Please help with some advice.

I'm really worried because I missed my period and took an unwanted kit, but there was no bleeding. So, I went to a doctor who gave me some abortion pills, but still nothing happened. She checked with a home pregnancy kit, which came out negative, and mentioned that bleeding should occur within 15-20 days. It's been a month now, and still no bleeding. What could be going on?
