I wanted to know how is the recovery process for abortion?

i am having the aspiration abortion in a couple of days and i wanted to know what was the after care process like as far as cramping bleeding how long did you cramp and bleed for how you felt on the inside.when you went back for the check up were you pretty much healed and was done cramping and bleeding just to get maybe a general idea of what it is like i know everyone is different but i would like to hear from people who have had this done thank you.





PS I DONT NEED TO HEAR ANY NEGATIVE COMMENTS ABOUT THIS ITS FINAL AND IF YOU DISAGREE KEEP IT TO YOURSELF BECAUSE IM NOT CHANGING MY MIND THANKSI wanted to know how is the recovery process for abortion?
Drink lots of fluids





Stay off work for a few days if you can





Take vitamins, eat healthy food, and try to sleep





Take the antibiotics prescribed by your doctor right away, and for the full amount of days prescribed!





No exercise for two weeks





No swimming or tub baths for 2 weeks





Don't lift anything over 15 pounds for two weeks, don't use ANYTHING vaginally for 2-4 weeks - no sex, no tampons, no douches.





You can ovulate as soon as two weeks after an abortion, which means yes, you could get pregnant again within two weeks after an abortion!





After the 2-4 weeks is over, you should NOT have sex again unless you feel physically recovered, and have discussed with your partner what you want to do if an unplanned pregnancy occurs again. Do NOT let yourself be pressured into having sex again before you are physically and emotionally ready, and have had a serious discussion about the course of action for future unplanned pregnancies. You can get pregnant as soon as two weeks after an abortion! Your body normally will go back to it's regular cycle, and release an egg (ovulation) at 2 weeks post-ab. So once you decide you are ready to resume sexual intercourse again, make sure you are using birth control right away. As many of us know, birth control is NOT 100% effective. So it's very important that you don't have sex again until you are healed physically and emotionally, and you have a clear consensus on what will happen if you become unexpectedly pregnant again.





For women who had an abortion for maternal health reasons, or for a poor prenatal diagnosis, consult your doctor about birth control and future pregnancies.





If you were 9 or more weeks along in the pregnancy, it is possible that you may have trouble with milk, or a milky fluid leaking from your breasts after the abortion. The further along you were, the higher the chance of having your 'milk come in'. This can be upsetting, but it won't last for long. It's a normal effect of the hormones that your body releases when you are no longer pregnant. These hormones make your body start to produce milk, whenever a pregnancy is ended. Your breasts may feel sore, tight, swollen, and will leak out droplets of clear to whitish fluid. At times the milk may 'let down', and a substantial amount of liquid may come out. To help with this stage, wear a well-fitting/snug bra, and try avoid stimulation of your breasts or nipples. Wear the bra 24 hours a day until your milk dries up. It can take one to four weeks for the milk to dry up. It will not be as painful as it originally feels when the milk first comes in - as the milk is not 'used' the pressure on the milk ducts will cause the milk to 'dry up'. Keep wearing that snug-fitting bra, and take tylenol for the soreness, and this will subside. If you develop a fever, or extreme tenderness in either of your breasts, consult a doctor - there is also a condition where your milk glands can get infected, and this will need to be treated with antibiotics. (This is a rare complication).I wanted to know how is the recovery process for abortion?
I don't know. Why the hell are you asking me?
I dunno I am keeping my baby instead of killing it
I had an abortion about 5 days ago.


The first three days theres little to no bleeding because it takes a bit for your body to realize that you are no longer pregnent. My bleeding is getting heavier now and should continue for a week or two.


Sometimes i get severe cramps, but nothing too horrible.


Good luck and dont listen to anyone here who is going on about pro life and such.


I hope this helped, and dont worry too much, everything will be fine. :)


if you want to go to a pro choice site, i would recommned www.imnotsorry.net
I had one done and I was in a lot of pain the day of, aftewards cramping really bad for an entire day, but the following day I was totally back to normal and bleeding like a light period. Normal activities resumed and then I went to a party that weekend and everything was totally normal. Just make sure you have help for the first day. I threw up and cramped (like labor cramps) that first whole day.
what is an aspiration abortion?


and i bled a lot-- i throw up the first time... and the cramping really hurts.. its like period cramping. but twice as painful.. im not sure how long i bled for.. it was a few years ago.. i was actually thinking about it last night.. weirdly enough.. lol.. but i never went for a check up afterwards.. i just stayed n the house for weeks.. (it was n the summer)
Here is a great link about what happens after abortion. It should give you some answers.

You can also read testimonies by a thousand women who had abortions in the past:





http://www.silentnomoreawareness.org/tes…





Sometimes, regret, grief and guilt come years after the fact, but they fall on you like a ton of bricks. I heard such a live testimony which I will never forget, by a woman who described herself at first like ';the perfect Planned Parenthood success story';. One thing I can absolutely guarantee is that your abortion is an experience you will never forget. Some described it as ';having life sucked out of you';, which it literally is since you are now carrying life. This sense of emptiness often leads to years of depression. So many women complained that nobody warned them about what would happen to them after abortion. All these post-abortive women are there to warn you.
If you want real stories by real women about their real abortions, then I can only agree with the poster above me who linked to Silent No More because they will tell you exactly what the abortion, and its aftermath, was like: http://www.silentnomoreawareness.org/tes…





It isn't ';negative'; for people to urge you to think again. Your child is precious and loved by more people than you know, even people you aren't aware of. S/he has a future husband or wife, children, friends, colleagues in the future; all those people need your child to be alive. That is something we genuinely care about; it is not negative. It's more positive, and more loving toward you, than you realize.





For example, your abortionist will not tell you, ';Okay, by having this abortion you're consenting to put yourself at a 40% increased risk of a fatal form of breast cancer.'; Yet, that is the ugly truth, and you don't have to take my word for it. See this study: http://www.abortionbreastcancer.com/pres…





You're talking about how the abortion will be for *you*, how *you* will feel after it, yet are you aware of what happens to the child during an aspiration abortion? http://www.haltonprolife.com/abortion-me…





Even without knowing you, I don't want to believe that you could intentionally do that to your own child. You are a mother, whether you like it or not, and you are this child's primary guardian! A mother nourishes, protects, guards, guides, teaches, yet abortion is the opposite of everything womanly, tender or affectionate.





I know you said your mind is made up. I don't know why you're having an abortion, but I do know that it won't bring you the happiness, relief or freedom you think it will bring you. It can't. You can't hurt someone and expect to be happy and free. I don't know if you were raped, if you need treatment for a disease, or whatever, but I do know that taking a life--your child's life--is not the answer.





A lot of women who have abortions say that their immediate reaction was relief. Over time, that relief wore away and turned into bitterness, denial, even anger at others who reminded them of it in one way or another. Slowly, sometimes over the course of decades, the bitterness turned to regret and despair. Women who do not come to regret their abortions continue to live bitter and unhappy lives; they seem normal on the outside and even claim to be just fine with their abortions, but they are bitter and lost. I've encountered some such women, and they are very sad inside. Unfortunately, they don't think they can or should face it or discuss it, so they get furious with others who try to help them face their past abortions. And then there are others--a handful by comparison--who truly do not care about the abortion and are totally hardened by it. But is that what a woman ought to be?





The very fact that you are yelling on here at anyone who disagrees with you shows that you are already becoming that kind of woman, but you CAN change your mind and stop that process.





It's humanly impossible to take an innocent life and still continue to be happy and fulfilled. It's not possible. Because we are all connected to one another and because we are not in charge of who lives and who dies, when we take a human life, we hurt not only that person, but our very selves.





All this isn't just a ';personal opinion.'; An opinion would be saying that I think a Toyota is better than a Honda. All of us, whatever our religious beliefs or lack thereof, have written on our hearts from the time we are created that it is wrong to hurt and kill another person. Over time, we may chisel away at that and pretend not to know that anymore, but it's still true. Aborting your baby is seriously wrong, and there will be negative consequences in your life because you are hurting another person. Even if you have good intentions, such as trying to spare the child some pain, you are still hurting your child in the worst and most permanent way.





And if I didn't really care about you as a mother myself, I wouldn't bother saying these things to you, things you may be very upset to hear because they are true. Warning you isn't ';negative';; it's doing the truly thoughtful thing, because MOST women who regret their abortions say, ';No one told me what it would really be like.';





You need loving help for your baby so that this problem can be solved and no one is hurt. Don't you want to know that there is help for you? Wouldn't you much rather give this person life than not? There are people who can help you with this, with everything. They will help you find a loving adoptive family or help you keep this baby. There are volunteers who do everything for mothers in need, they are so desperate to help. You have no idea how much comfort and encouragment, not to mention practical help, they will give you. They can help with medical care, housing, a job, getting supplies for the baby, for no cost at all. For free, they will either relieve you of your baby and give him/her to someone who loves him/her, or help you keep your child. Here:
