What to do with blood and tissue after abortion?

Most of the time blood and tissue can be seen in the sanitary napkin or in the toilet after abortion pill usage. It is possible that you might see the embryo.

Can you see the products of the abortion? (placenta, embryo, blood)

The (very small) embryo is usually passed within this blood and tissue in such a way that it goes unnoticed by the woman. However, it is possible that you might see the very small embryo.

Depending on the length of the pregnancy, a small pregnancy sac with some tissue around it may be visible:

    • If you are only five to six weeks pregnant, there will be no visible sac.
    • At nine weeks, you might be able to find a sac in the blood and it is possible that you might see the embryo.
    • With a pregnancy of 8 or 9 weeks, the embryo is about 2.5 cm. This can be distressing.

What should you do with them?

It is best to flush everything down the toilet or to wrap the sanitary pads in a plastic bag and throw them away./p>
