Question
Hello!
I`m 22 years old. I had a abortion 10 days ago. Pregnancy was 5 weeks. everything  done,I am all right. now I want to ask What health care should I do. Should I take another ultra sound now to check everything is clear or not? what preventions should i take? What are the expected risk after abortion of 5 weeks baby.
I want your suggestions and tips.
I'll be very thankful. May God give you success and a good life.
God Bless you.

Answer
Daniya,

You shouold have a checkup at 6 weeks after abortion. Did your medical person tell you that? I'm not sure what you are talking about preventions. If you don't want to get pregnant, you should strongly consider abstinence. Lots of young people are choosing abstinence now to prevent pregnancy and also not to get a sexually transmitted disease. You may suffer physical problems after abortion. You could also suffer emotional, spiritual, and psychological problems after abortion. I can provide free counseling if you need that. If you want to talk about things more, just email me at CHERYL51@aol.com and hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
