Morning After Pill
What is MAP?
MAP is also known as "Emergency Contraception." It is a series of pills that is taken to either prevent pregnancy or abort a pregnancy before it implants in the uterus.
Are there any concerns?
Physical effects: nausea, abdominal pain, tiredness, headache, menstrual changes, dizziness, breast tenderness, and vomiting.
Emotional effects: Since MAP is taken so early, a woman never knows if she indeed conceived a baby. In addition, she does not know if the MAP she took aborted the baby.
