What happens after a termination?

[Springheeled]

Apologies, I don't want to upset anyone with this thread but I would really appreciate some info.

I wondered what happens in the immediate aftermath of a surgical termination very early in pregnancy? For example, with bleeding and with the hormones leaving? And with getting home from the clinic?

I know it will just unfold as it unfolds and what will be will be but I want to have some concept of it. Also will I need things like brick sanitary pads?

I know what an mc is like and that left me wiped out for a couple of months, but I lost masses of blood with that which I think was the reason.

The emotional side, I just have NO idea how I will feel so again that is a bridge to cross and I'm sure it's different for everyone, but I'm imagining the physical side is similar.

And with work- I can't really take time off, or tell anyone there. Am I going to end up needing to? Work require documentation for appointments and time off.

I second the suggestion to seek medical advice. I'm not sure it's normal to still be feeling sore. That's not to say it's anything to worry about though.

I'm glad you're feeling better emotionally.

Just to say thank you all for your support at that difficult time. I had my first proper period last week and now feel far more normal again, just still a little tired. Feel I can move on now. Thanks again xxx

Good to hear from you again, spring. Hope you're moving forward with it all x
