Abortion/Increase of bleeding after 4th day of abortion

Expert: - 12/20/2009


Question
I had my very first abortion last week,on the 16th.It was a pregnancy for only about one month.
I was bleeding fine,no symptoms of stopping or getting less but the amount was irregular.

Yet when it comes to the 5th day(20th), which was yesterday,I started feeling some cramps n a slight pain on my lower back bone. Also, a tiny period pain at times.

Later on in the evening I started to bleed more. Around 80% of my normal sanitary pad in 2 hours time.
Previously it was less then 50% for a few hours.

I am very worry about this as it is my first time and I have no idea about the blood flow after abortion.
I checked for various internet sources but the saying seems to vary.

May I know if this is normal?

I greatly appreciate your help and advices.

Sincerely,
Jaynee

Answer
Hi Jaynee,

Sorry I did not get your question until now. I hope you are well and that the bleeding stopped. It does vary with every woman but in your case, it sounded a little abnormal. I hope you have checked with your physician about this.

If you have any post abortion problems such as emotional, psychological or spiritual, please contact me. You can email me about this or just to talk and my email address is CHERYL51@aol.com
I hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely,
