Are you wondering what to expect after an abortion or perhaps how you might support a loved one experiencing abortion?
It is common to experience:
* Bleeding which ranges from light to heavy and last for up to 6 weeks.
* Cramping which can be very strong and painful at times.
* Feeling tired, low energy and needing more rest than usual.
* A wide range of emotions, or no emotions at all. This is different for everyone.
* Fertility can return right away and it is possible to fall pregnant again before your next period. Contraception can be started very soon after an abortion.
Ask for advice! Speak with your healthcare provider and make sure you know what to expect and where you can get help.
