Breastfeed after unwanted 72
Hello,
I have unprotected sex with wife. And i have fear of conception. But i don't want child now and since my wife is feeding my 1.5yrs old son.
I just want to ask some questions
That 48hrs passed after sex.
Can we proceed with unwanted 72 to terminate if there are any chances of pregnancy?
Does it harm baby as he is taking breastfeed?
Pls suggest.

You can take Unwanted 72.
Just remember two things;
It is quite possible that your wife might not have conceived . So you will be happy about the efficacy of the drug for no reason.
The treatment may fail. So if she is pregnant, the pregnancy may continue. This point is important because so many women will have irregular periods when they are feeding their babies.
Whatever happens now, for future please ask her to use Intrauterine Contraceptive device.

It can be taken with in 72 hrs.
Doesn't affect lactation.
Unwanted 72 is for prevention of pregnancy not for termination.
