Almost no change: Depending on what trimester the abortion is done, you may have gained some weight. Immediate lost of increased pregnancy blood volume and fetal weight will be small. Sometimes the increase in hormones may cause water retention and you may also notice a small loss. Overall, your weight change will probably be small.
