Worried About Recovering
Posted: 07-24-04 19:30pm

I had a miscarriage at 8 weeks... I went to the abortion clinic to get cleaned out. I had to go back after a week because I was bleeding a lot and the pain. They said I had a blood clot and re did the process... Im worried because I really didnt listen to the resting part of recovering... I wont let myself stay laying down for so long, keeping myself entertained feels better then sitting down to think about it. Im worried that going out, walking around, attempting to go around like nothing is wrong might hurt me worse. My friend had an abortion and told me that being over active now could have caused the clot... I just got cleaned out again yesterday and later on I went out to clear my mind, could this cause something to go wrong and me not be able to have children later on.
I am trying my best to rest, but its hard to know what to do right now.

The longer you put off resting like you were told to, the longer you put off recovering totally and moving on with your life. Chances are, unless they told you you would have trouble having children, that you will have no trouble having children, at least physically. You need to try to stop dwelling on it and actually come to terms with it. Entertaining yourself to take your mind off of it won't help you to recover physically, or emotionally. Rest, write down your thoughts, cry, be depressed for awhile. You have just experienced a personal tragedy, not a broken arm. Face it and soon you will feel better both emotionally and physically.

If you do not rest, you could eventually hurt yourself internally from scarring and clotting. Then you will have an issue.
