Sarah says abortion pill reversal saved her baby from death
Sarah and her boyfriend had recently broken up when Sarah found out she was pregnant. Already a mom of two, Sarah didn’t feel that the timing was great for her to be having another baby. She told Heartbeat International that the father of the baby told her he didn’t want the child, so she made the decision to take the abortion pill. Yet she immediately regreted it.
Sarah’s mind began to waver after she took the first drug of the abortion pill regimen, mifepristone, which works to deprive the developing child of nutrients by blocking the natural pregnancy hormone, progesterone. Sarah said she “immediately started crying.” Then, when she called the father of the child, he admitted to hoping that she would keep the baby. Sarah began searching to see if there was any way to possibly reverse the abortion pill and keep her child safe.
The “abortion pill” is a common name for a set of two drugs: mifepristone and misoprostol. Mifepristone is taken first. Since it blocks the naturally occuring pregnancy hormone progesterone, administering progesterone to a woman after she takes mifepristone has enabled women to reverse its effects and potentially save their children.
She later had an ultrasound at a local pregnancy resource center that confirmed her baby was still alive.

“And I just felt so much hope that I could make it right,” she said. “And that was exactly what I needed in that moment because I was just feeling so regretful.”
To all the women in a similar situation to hers, Sarah explained, “If there’s a part of you that’s saying ‘this isn’t the right thing to do,’ listen to that part so you don’t end up regretting it.”
Sarah’s healthy baby boy James was born in June of 2020.
She said, “He was the piece I never knew was missing and I can’t imagine life without him.”
