We have to live with the consequences of our decisions and actions. Even if a abortion pill taker doesn't abort and has a live pregnancy after bleeding, one can never be sure that the baby is going to be fine. The pills which are given are for stopping the heart of the baby and also to pull it off from the lining of the uterus where is was previously attached. But at times this doesn't happen and the pregnancy continues. In such cases the next best step if to go for Dilatation and Curettage to clean the uterus and remove the baby ( alive or dead )
Next Steps
Many women who take abortion pills also have incomplete abortion and these babies are aborted but the covering of the pregnancy sac sometimes remains. Thus it is a incomplete abortion and at times the doctor needs to do a Dilatation and Curettage to complete the abortion. If not done this can harm the mother's chances of having pregnancy in future. So if she has passed 15 days after taking pills, a ultrasound needs to be done to ascertain that the pregnancy is cleared off. Some women do urine pregnancy test after taking abortion pills and this may come positive as the test takes about 2 weeks to become negative. If you are assuming a continued pregnancy based on urine test, it is not accurate. Do a ultrasound test to know about the uterus and its contents
