Pain like braxton hicks contractions rated at an 8, lasted 5mins. i terminated my pregnancy aug 20th at 8weeks if that has to do with it and i'm 18?

Yes: Your uterus is contracting to shrink down to normal size. Another consideration is that they did not get all the tissue out of your uterus when they did the abortion and your uterus is contracting against this tissue. i think it is best to be seen and make sure their are no products of conception in the uterus.
