A member asked:
Do breast swelling and leaking colostrum after medical abortion indicate that the abortion was successful?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Your body's hormone production that begins the lactation process does not just shut off after an abortion, and may get activated somehow by the process. This effect has nothing to do with the success or failure of the abortion itself
