I suggest you take this into the abortion forum. The people on here want nothing more than to have children, and reading this will just upset them.

I couldn't have said it better nataliachick7.
Thanks

Agreed.

Lol good job sandra, im so proud.

Hey, I guess i'm not totally sure what you're asking - if you'll lose weight after having the abortion? I couldn't discern from your question if you were overweight before the pregnancy, or gained weight since finding out. I'd assume the former, because it'd be pretty much impossible to gain 10 pounds at only 5 weeks. Maybe what you mean is will the bloating go down? The sore breasts? Yes. Those are pregnancy symptoms, and you'll soon no longer be pregnant. Physically, you should feel back to normal after the abortion. Just keep in mind it can take up to 8 weeks to get your period afterwards. Good luck to you.

congratulations!!!

I'm so proud of you :d

your hormone levels could be producing the bloating and water retention. This is common. After the abortion, your hormones should level out as your body works through them. A good thing to try afterwards is cranberry juice which naturally reduces bloating and especially water retention.

If you are very worried, this should be one of the questions that you ask your doctor where ever the abortion is performed. They will have much more information than I do.

Best of luck and keep us posted on how you're feeling.
Peace,

Hey mominnj,

i about the same as you, 4/5 weeks gone so i'm told. Feel like crap at the moment. Sick all day and dairy food is a no go area a of this morning!! I'm starting to bloat too and really conscious of it.
I have to wait another two weeks before I can get the early option pill as I have to travel to uk to get it, it's still illegal in ireland for abortions.

Let me know how you get on.

Best of luck.

Ladies -- many thanks to all of you who helped me with your answers.
I took the abortion pill on 5/5 and I have been bleeding for 2 weeks straight. It was not as bad as I anticipated - the first night was the worst.
I went back to the clinic for my follow-up, and all is clear.
I feel much more relaxed now.

To those few imbeciles who insulted me, sorry for your ignorance: it is truly a sad thing. Enough said.

Thank you for the update!

I am so glad you are healing and recovering well.

The abortion pill is stupid. Just get the actual surgical procedure, its less of a mess and the bleeding doesnt even last that long. I had an abortion today and I already feel like I can go out. With the pill you'll be stuck in the house for days bleeding like a maniac and cramping.

She already had her abortion, and for some women the pill method is better..But honestly I always recommend the surgical to anyone.

ok i was reading the whole comments .,, please try to support someone going throught this difficult time ...i a m guy for your info . i have been with by gf for 6 years and 4 month back she got preagnent...( I am a Indian ) staying in Dubai...I came back from my holidays from inida and after 4 weeks i got a call. that she was preagnent ...i have seen the the sadness felt felt the pain , she when through in the hospital when the inserted the pills ...the doctor was convincing us to kep the baby ...it was very difficult for us both ...We both belong to very well of families .. But the pain and the look on her face when she went in the operating room for the 10 min procedure after inserting the pills in her ... was heart breaking ..we did it alone .no body knew ...and thank god it went well..i still love her so much and she handled herself so well. she was having some period problems afterwards but the doctor gave some pills.. But really people who are afraid and want to abort in 5 to 10 weeks time...dont worry ... go to the doctor ...its a vey easy procedure ..but not happy procedure ...and every thing gets allright ,,,, this is my first hand experience ..... dont get afraid ......

good luck
