if shes still on the first day then they can last through the morning, every one has different experiences. remind her to keep drinking water, water always seems to help with anything. i cant say that everythings ok but i had the pill just on saturday and its wednesday and im still getting mild cramps, and trying to figure out of this is normal. will let you know once i find out!

i had the worst cramps ever! it started about 40 minutes after- it was really intense cramps- i kept yelling and screaming at my fiance lol- but the really bad cramps went away after about 8 hours. then it was just mild cramps for the next two or three days.
the best thing while having the really intense cramps after taking the cytotec is to just try and keep her relaxed- lots of water and whatever beverage she really likes(by giving her something she likes it'll help calm her down, i love the yellow gatorade lol so i drank over a gallon of it haha) just keep her comfortable and have her lay down but keep her knnes bent up, that helped to take away some of the pain and pressure for me, take tylenol 3 (if they gave u a prescription) if not just take reg. tylenol, make sure she takes the promethasine, my cramps got so bad that i kept throwing up, try to make her comfortable so that she sleeps a little, and when the major cramps go away make sure she eats something light (once again something that she likes will help her mentally feel better- i ate a whole container of sherbert lol)
o and the reason the cramps are that bad after taking the second pill is because her cervix is dilating in order to expell the pregnancy.
i hope you found this useful.
and like i said to sarbear0000 on another post- bleeding can last for up to three weeks after- and my mild cramps stopped after three or four days.
best of luck.
