So I stayed in the hospital for half a day while the nurses inserted the medication (Misoprostol) locally. It was better for me as I didn't want a D&C and have low pain tolerance. I was administered painkillers to help with the pain. After a few hours baby came out. My period came right after just like a normal birth.
