I'm really worried about my wife's recovery after her surgical abortion. She's been experiencing bleeding, filling about one pad a day. Do you know how long this bleeding might last? Is this normal?

It's normal for some bleeding to occur after a surgical abortion, typically lasting 1-2 weeks. The amount should gradually decrease, and bleeding of one pad per day is generally considered within the expected range. However, if the bleeding becomes heavy or persists longer than 2 weeks, it's important to consult with a doctor to rule out any complications.

My wife is in her 10th week of pregnancy and has been prescribed ONDEM MD 4 to help with nausea and vomiting. The instructions are to take it twice a day, but we're a bit worried if it's safe to use on a daily basis. Also, one evening she unintentionally took a double dose. Should we be concerned about any side effects from that? Really appreciate any insights you can share.

Ondem MD 4, containing ondansetron, is generally considered safe for pregnant women to manage nausea and vomiting, but should be used under medical supervision; taking a double dose by mistake may cause side effects like headaches, dizziness, or constipation, but these are usually mild and temporary
