Answer
Hello, bekkie,

My heart goes out to you. Did you take just one pill? There is a chance your baby's life could be saved. Go immediately to a local organization that helps pregnant women. They should recommend a doctor. Usually, the treatment is to give progesterone throughout pregnancy. Women have been able to have normal babies after taking a pill, if they do this. To find an organization near you, go here:

Choose your country from the country list. There may be multiple pages. Click on "details" to get contact information.

Whatever happens, I'll be here for you. These organizations also offer counseling, and given that you are regretting what you did, and if things don't go as you hope, you may need it. Please take care of yourself. You can get through this. Many women have. I will keep this short so that you will go find a doctor right away, and later, I will write back. I will pray for you. Hugs.
