For most women, it feels like a bad menstrual period with strong cramps, diarrhea and upset stomach. Acetaminophen (one brand name: Tylenol) or ibuprofen (one brand name: Motrin) can help the cramps. These symptoms are normal. However, the doctor will want to know if any of these occur:
Bleeding through more than 2 sanitary pads in an hour
Fever above 100 degrees for more than 4 hours
Pain even after taking acetaminophen or ibuprofen..
that would be for a medical abortion....
It is an abortion caused by medicine. It can only be done in the first 9 weeks of pregnancy. The medicine used for medical abortions is called mifepristone (brand name: Mifeprex). This is a pill that blocks progesterone, a hormone needed for pregnancy. It causes the lining of the womb (uterus) to thin.
After taking mifepristone, the woman goes home. She comes back to the doctor a few days later to take another medicine called misoprostol (brand name: Cytotec). This medicine makes the uterus contract and empty. Many women have bleeding for about 13 days after taking it. Light bleeding or discharge (called spotting) can continue for several weeks.
The medical abortion is 97% effective
A surgical abortion is a procedure done by a doctor to remove the lining of the womb. There are 2 common types: manual vacuum aspiration (MVA) and dilatation and suction curettage (D&C). They both use suction to empty the womb. MVA uses a handheld tool. D&C is done with a suction machine and tools.
MVA can be done in the first 10 weeks of pregnancy. D&C can be done after the first month of pregnancy but before the end of the 13th week.
For both types, medicine can be given to help the woman feel calm. Then the doctor injects the opening to the womb (cervix) with a medicine to make it numb. The cervix is stretched open with a tool called a dilator and the doctor inserts a tube. The uterus is emptied through this tube.
A surgical abortion For most women, it feels like strong menstrual cramps. Women are usually given medicine to help with the pain and told to rest when they get home. Acetaminophen or ibuprofen can also help. Bleeding may continue off and on for a few weeks.

Most surgeries require that you take it easy for six weeks. So there is probably some pain and discomfort and laying up for a while. But what they are not going to tell you in the abortion clinic is that you will feel guilty for the rest of your life. You are contemplating ending a life. A life! You were once a fetus too and someone gave you life.
You have choices.. Abortion is not an easy way out. There are so many families who would love to give your baby a good home, if only you would give the child the chance to breathe and live.

The doctor puts you into a twilight sleep and you dont feel or remember a thing. Some cramping might occur like a period. They just tell you to take it easy for the first 24 hours.
