Post-Surgical Abortion: Understanding Gas, Bloating & Pelvic Pain

Question
Hi...I had a surgical abortion 2 days ago and since last night I been experience some type of bloating...I started to feel like my stomach was so full but the feeling went away for a while after a gas was release...I tried to go to the bathroom for a bowel movement but nothing but pain on my pelvis, I went to sleep and the cramping woke me up, now I was feeling so much pain in my upper stomach (more around my belly button)...I tried to go to the bathroom again but nothing came out so I tried pushing a lil bit but my pelvis was so much in pain, like period cramping multiplied by 3...finally i got a bowel movement and I feel a lil better but the pain around the belly button and the period like cramping don't want to go away...is this normal? Should I go to the ER?

Answer
You should call the ER or call your regular doctor just to see if this is something urgent. I am always concerned with health after an abortion. There are so many things that can go wrong. Please be careful with your health. I would like to know what happened. Can you email me at CHERYL51@aol.com

thanks.
