Abortion recovery query

[Mpark]

Hi everyone .
I will trigger warning this and would like not to be judged :(
I had a surgical abortion 48 hours ago - I was 11+3 days .
I’ve had moderate bleeding since - I’ve been in bed for 7 hours and when I stood up I lost blood and a clot the size of half a lime- it was definitely a clot and not tissue.
I panicked and rang the hospital ward - she didn’t seem to concerned and said to get up and potter about so the blood doesn’t pool and cause clots which is obviously distressing for me . She also said if the bleeding gets worse or I’m passing alot of clots I’m to call them back .
I feel scared to get up and walk around incase it happens again , I feel safe laid down as no bloods coming out - I sound pathetic because I’ve had 3 children before and dealt with the bleeding fine but for some reason I feel very panicked and worried about this .
any advice or reassurance from anyone else who has experienced this would be greatly appreciated x

You don't sound pathetic OP that sounds really scary, walk about when you can but resting also sounds very sensible (maybe just prepare that there might be a fall of blood when you do get up) please call the hospital back if you don't feel right or if you have concerns

And of course no judgement OP 💐

I think it’s best to keep active. Would short bursts of time spent sitting the the toilet help expel some of the heavy bleeding?

Thanks for your lovely reassuring reply 🩷
I have been getting up and pottering then having a rest and I feel a little more happy about things . Xx

The bleeding itself isn’t too heavy, it was the clot I was worried about love , things like tha freak me out 😭😭 xx

How's the bleeding now? Of course clots are super scary I get that, and when you've had a procedure which isn't pleasant at all :(

Touch wood things seem ok atm- I’ve been pottering and resting in equal amounts and I’m going to brave washing my hair . My hormones seem to have dropped massively today so I’m abit tearful :( thanks for checking in love I appreciate it xxx

Zero judgement here OP. Hope you are ok and have some RL suppot or counselling lined up. This is a horrible thing to have to go through.

Thanks so much for your lovely comment 🩷 I feel really lucky to have the most incredible husband who is carrying me through this dark time xxx
