Question
i had an abortion on the 4th. i only had bleeding the day after, now it's just light brown spotting every once in a while. BUT.. i've had the worst pains! at one point, my whole right side of mt body had sharp, shooting pains .. i couldnt even move. sometimes it hurts to breath. Also, the pain in my uterus(?) are very sharp and feel somewhat like a bubble. when i have to go #2, i have the same pain in THAT area.. i'm sooo tired! And the last 2 days ive been having really bad headaches. and loss of appetite. whats going on??
Dear Ashley,
You need to go to the doctor as soon as possible. This sounds like some kind of problem. Were you supposed to go for a post abortion appointment? Can you go to your regular doctor instead of whoever did the abortion? Please email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and let me know what happens. I'm concerned about you. Perhaps the abortion was incomplete or you have some other problem but it could be serious. Please check this out and take care of yourself.
