Questioni had an abortion 4 days ago.... im not cramping but i have low back pains and light bleeding... i went to the ER because i was worried and the did a sonogram and said that every thing is fine... should i still be worried
Answerhi, stacy,
Some women experience uterine contractions as low back pain. So this isn't too surprising.
I would say be watchful, but try not to worry. It's too soon to know you are going to be OK. There are many other ways abortion can harm you. But it looks like you are past the immediate emergency situations.
You didn't say how the abortion was done. But don't be surprised if you have heavier bleeding. But don't let it go on for weeks or anything. Seek help if that starts to happen. Your uterus should contract, which should eliminate anything that is left inside.
Also, if you feel any weakness or undue tiredness or show any signs of anemia, please check into it. There is always the possibility of internal injury which doesn't directly reveal itself. For anemia, pinch your fingernail and see if it gets its color back quickly.
Please let me know how you do.
