Women In Nepal Are Turning To Pharmacies For Clandestine Abortions | HuffPost: KATHMANDU, NEPAL – On a bright afternoon in April, Jiya Shreshta* met her sister in an empty field near her apartment. Her sister slipped a pack of medical abortion pills into her hands. Shreshta swallowed one pill immediately as her sister relayed the pharmacist’s sole instruction: “Take the next pill after 24 hours.” Shreshta felt relieved as she scurried home, hoping no one had seen.
After taking the pills, Shreshta, 30, maintained her routine: cooking, cleaning, helping her son with his homework. A week passed but the heavy bleeding, a normal side effect of medical abortions, didn’t abate. The pain sharpened. She spent her time coiled up in bed, swapping out four sanitary napkins a day.
Shreshta had taken the pills because she feared a doctor would berate her for getting pregnant. But now she wondered if they had even worked.
