YES, that is 100% normal.

Surgical abortions really do not cause that much bleeding, medical abortions will cause the most bleeding.(abortion by pill)

I have had 3 abortions, and I rarely bled after each of them.

You will notice that as you increase your exercise, you do heavy lifting, or other activity, that your bleeding may increase. This is normal, and it is due to the movement and slight stress on the uterus.

Surgical Abortion
I had a surgical abortion on the 2 of Dec, went home and thought all was well. Had no bleeding only cramps, was a bit worried so I called the after care to make on appointment. I went for my appoinment today and was in shock to find out the procedure did not work and that I was still pregnant. Now am bleeding light.

Irregular bleeding after surgical abortion
Hi,

I wonder if anyone can give me some advice. I had an abortion less than two weeks ago. When i had the procedure done, I bled also for about two hours and then stopped. The next day me and my boyfriend were fooling around and i had an orgasm by clitoral stimulation and i noticed afterwards that i had begun bleeding again. This lasted for maybe two days which stoppped completely and now i seem to bleed randomly. More like bright red spotting two days later which turns to a brownish discharge and then all together stops and then maybe another two or three days later i bleed slightly heavily and the same thing happens all over again. I havent done any strenuous excercise and haven't had any sexual intercourse with my boyfriend.

I read about a woman who said she had a surgical abortion and was fine for three weeks only afterwards to find out that she was hemmoraging, she had the same symptoms.. this makes me worry a bit.

I had an abortion about 3w and 2days ago and I'm
Still bleeding , I'm not sure if it's normal . It's not heavy at allbut I'm still seeing clots at random times . I have a follow up tomorrow but I have to reschedule due to something that's just as important . I'm just wondering , I have no fever , nausea, or diarrhea . Hm I just need a clear clarification of how long I'm suppose to bleed. And also dies it have something to do with how far along you were ? I was 12.5 weeks.

I had a surgical abortion on the 4th and on the day had small bleeding and then for 2 days after only very light brown discharge when I wiped (not on pad)... I was getting random cramping that wouldn't last long and had no spotting at all for 2/3 days. I had sex with my partner last night (silly I know but I did it).. Very sore today and tender inside near my cervix and cramping quite bad. Then tonight started having extreme cramps (almost contractions) and felt extreme pressure in my vagina and my anus (I've been on heavy medication for 3 months due to spinal injury hence why I aborted) and have suffered constipation also. I used my bowels and was very painful in both areas. I think I tore myself from pushin due to contraction feelings... But now ive showered and put a pad on and here is no bleeding but still very tender and sore and cramping... I'm really worried I've torn inside or possible infection or something... My partner googled it and told me it was probably normal due to some women experiencing delayed bleeding but I just have a really bad feeling... Has anyone else had this happen? Please help.. I don want to go to my doctor of its all normal and I'm just paranoid! Thanks
