QuestionI had an abortion 2 weeks and 1 day ago. I was nearly 11 weeks pregnant. I bled from the very beginning,after 1 week i bled a bit heavier and it was bright red. It calmed down after few days and now i am bleeding a bit heavier again.i have had abdominal pains all the way through too. I had sex last night with my boyfriend and today have really bad abdominal pains and my back aches. Is this normal?
AnswerHello, kaylie,
Since having an abortion is not normal, nothing that happens afterwards is normal, either. The fact you have bright red blood and pain suggests you may have been injured. Injury always happens in abortion, but sometimes they injure things they don't intend to injure. You really should have a doctor look at you. You could have a perforation in the uterus. Also, sometimes they don't get everything, and that can cause problems. Don't go back to the person who provided the abortion. They can't be trusted, and they wouldn't want to admit they harmed you. Find a doctor who knows abortion is bad medicine. To find a good doctor, go to this web site:

They have listings for UK.
It is common to have increased pain and bleeding after sex. The possibility of infection is also greater at this time. If you don't want to live in fear of pregnancy, you should stop having sex. You deserve better than abortion. Talk to your boyfriend. See if he is willing to protect you from having to face another pregnancy. If not, you would be better off to find someone who will.
Abortion can cause some serious long term consequences. These can not only result in you getting a nasty disease, but can also harm your future children. For this reason, if you become pregnant again in the future, you should tell your doctor you have had an abortion, so he can do medical procedures necessary to try to prevent certain problems. Also, since you have greatly increased the risk of getting a particularly deadly form of breast cancer, I recommend you take Vitamin D3 for the rest of your life. Start with 5000IU daily. You will need to have your blood tested to make sure you don't get too much. Don't get mammograms. They can cause or spread breast cancer. Get regular thermograms.
Please take care of yourself and stay safe! Let me know how you do.
