Is it normal to bleed a lot on the first day of medical abortion?

Within 49 days of pregnancy, pregnant women aged 18-40 can choose medical abortion. After taking mifepristone and misoprostol tablets, the gestational sac can be discharged within six hours to a week, and bleeding may occur for about 15 days. In the first two or three days, the amount of bleeding is equal to the amount of menstruation or slightly more, which is all normal. However, if the bleeding is heavy and continues to occur, you should seek medical attention immediately. After medical abortion, you should take a half-month rest, keep the vulva clean, and refrain from sitting in a bath when bleeding has not stopped. You should also refrain from sexual intercourse within one month. You should go to the hospital for a follow-up check-up in the second and sixth weeks.
