Dr. John Munshower answered

Specializes in Family Medicine

See nutritionist: The abortion should not cause you to gain weight. Sometimes there can be underlying psychological consequences with this type of occurrence, and you may be eating more without even knowing it as a stress release. Se a dr. And get some good counseling including nutritional input. Best wishes to you.
