MA experience with Ma'am Del, Doc Max, and Midwife Sam

To all the girls who are hesitating, please do yourself a favor, and consider having a choice that's hard but freeing.

LAST LMP - June 23, 2026

Bf and I went to a trip together sa first week ng July, and accident happened. Fastforward netong July (we're waiting for my menstruation) and it didn't happen. I immediately asked him to buy cassettes to take pregnancy tests, I took thrice. Positive.

I have also experienced extreme fatigue, ramdom cravings, and sobra akong matulog— which hindi naman normally nangyayare sa akin.

Fastforward, I went to r/AbortionPhilippines but the qualified sources there are FPOP, WOW, WHW, requiring TVS and nadedelay. I also asked help from bf to cross-check. Hesitant siya because details niya gagamitin. We're also planning rin kasi to move sa US, so baka ma-hassle.

Lowkey, I don't have energy na rin to do TVS. Law student rin kasi ako, usually gabi classes ko and never have the energy to do errands ng morning kasi nahihilo due to pregnancy symptoms.

I found the subreddit nung una handled by the team from here, and directed me right away sa whatsapp.

Bf ordered and there came the pills after three days.

August 7 9:00 PM - Took Mife Pills
• After my evening class, I immediately took the pills, no weird side effects as well. Balik sigla kaagad. I was able to study pa.

August 8 Morning
• Nakapasok pa ako sa morning class ko for Saturday, no weird symptoms still.

August 8 8:30 PM
• I took bonamine before we settled sa hotel room.

August 8 9:00 PM
• Took 4 miso sublingually. Babad sa ilalim ng tongue. Watch lang kami ng movies non. Naglalaway ako but tolerable, no weird feelings pa sa body ko.

August 8 9:30 PM
• Swallowed the remnants and drank water din to hydrate.

August 8 9:30 PM to 12:30 AM
• Umidlip muna ako because I feel like the meds are kicking in na.

August 9 12:30 AM
• Bf woke me up for my second dose. Sublingually took another 4 miso pills. Then pikit pikit because cramps are hitting 8/10 by this time and I was wearing my menstrual diaper already.

August 9 1:00 AM
• Just when I was about to swallow the remnants, I told bf na dinudugo ako and parang may lalabas sa body ko. He joined me sa cr and boom, huge clot came out.

August 9 1:00 AM onwards
• Bf cleaned me up, messaged the assigned midwife to confirm the sac. She wasn't able to respond though, so we didn't clean up the clot muna. Bf prepared our hotmeals and rehydrated me.

• Idlip muna few hours.

August 9 3:30 AM
• I was in pain. Last dose of miso, so I took it sublingually. By this time I really don't have the energy na. Assisting midwife was already awake, asked us to check the clots, there was a laman laman there. That was our angel.

August 9 4:00 AM
• Swallowed the remnants with water and walk for few mins to check if may natira pa. Bleeding was raging from light to normal.

August 9 10:00 AM
• Woke up groggy and mahina kasi anemic rin ako. Assisting midwife confirmed the succes of our MA.

August 9 12 noon
• Ate our lunch and balik sigla na uli ako like kain nang kain.

August 9 3 PM
• Able to walk around and clean our room since nakacheck in kami.

August 9 5 PM
• Asked my bf if pwede na kami makauwi since pagod na pagod na ako. He agreed with me and we immediately went home. Mom noticed na extra maputla ako.

It's already been days since I have done MA, and I am feeling extra better now. Tolerable na ang cramps. Pawala na rin ang bleeding.
