An abortion is one of the safest medical procedures performed today.
Recovery is rapid and most patients resume their normal activities the same day or the next day.
You may have no bleeding after the procedure or you may bleed for as long as two weeks. The bleeding might also stop and then start again. These patterns are all considered normal. You may experience menstrual-like cramps for a short time following your procedure. A post-operative examination about two weeks after the procedure will be made to confirm that the uterus has returned to its normal size.
