Question 2

i was 17weeks and i had an abortion and now my feet are swollen?

AB at 17 weeks: Swollen feet following a 17 week termination of pregnancy may be due to inactivity recovering from the difficult procedure at 17 weeks, or the IV fluids usually given during such terminations. This should resolve with normal activities soon, but if it persists, see your gyn surgeon for an exam.

Question 3

Question 4

my girlfriend is still having big stomach stomach after an abortion and the residuls has been removed , please what can be the problem?

Follow up : Light abdominal pain as you describe as expected after a surgical procedure. If you feel that this is out of the ordinary though i recommend following up with your surgeon. Likely you were given pain medication to cope with pain. Take that as directed as well.

Question 10
