What should I expect during a medication abortion? For some, a medication abortion may cause vaginal bleeding that is much heavier than a menstrual period. The bleeding may be like a miscarriage. There may be severe cramping. There also may be nausea, vomiting, fever, and chills.
Your healthcare professional should explain what to expect in terms of pain, bleeding, and passing the pregnancy. Also, you should have a follow-up plan with your healthcare professional to be sure that the abortion is complete.
