Are abortion pills safe for lactating women?

Question

Hello doctor,

I had my C-section ten months ago, and I am a breastfeeding mother. I have conceived again. Can I take abortion pills?

Answer 1

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

First of all, breastfeeding mothers are less likely to get pregnant because of hormonal changes. In breastfeeding mothers, hormonal changes can cause false-positive urine pregnancy tests. So my suggestion is first to confirm this pregnancy by ultrasound. Taking MTP (medical termination of pregnancy) pills without pregnancy can be harmful.

I will be happy to help you further.

I wish you good health.

Thanks.

Without ultrasound confirmation, you should not start abortion pills as they can harm you.
