After an Abortion Do & Don'ts

Most women feel ok very quickly after an abortion. But is important to know a few things.  What can you do, to take care of yourself afterwards as you recover? What about fertility? How soon could you possibly get pregnant again?

On taking care of yourself - Basic things you can do:

1. Drink lots of fluids
   
2. Do not do any physical work after abortion. Relax.
   
3. Take vitamins, eat healthy food, and try to sleep


4. Take the antibiotics prescribed by your doctor right away, and for the full amount of days prescribed!
   
5. No exercise for two weeks
   
6. No swimming or tub baths for 2 weeks
   
7. Don't lift anything over 15 pounds for two weeks, don't use ANYTHING vaginally for 2-4 weeks - no sex, no tampons, no douches.
   
8. You can ovulate as soon as two weeks after an abortion, which means yes, you could get pregnant again within two weeks after an abortion!
   
9. After the 2-4 weeks is over, you should NOT have sex again unless you feel physically recovered, and have discussed with your partner what you want to do if an unplanned pregnancy occurs again. Do NOT let yourself be pressured into having sex again before you are physically and emotionally ready, and have had a serious discussion about the course of action for future unplanned pregnancies. You can get pregnant as soon as two weeks after an abortion! Your body normally will go back to it's regular cycle, and release an egg (ovulation) at 2 weeks post-ab. So once you decide you are ready to resume sexual intercourse again, make sure you are using birth control right away. As many of us know, birth control is NOT 100% effective. So it's very important that you don't have sex again until you are healed physically and emotionally, and you have a clear consensus on what will happen if you become unexpectedly pregnant again.
