During the abortion, you lose lots of blood. Minerals, proteins, calcium, and vitamins are lost during termination. Hence it is very important that you intake good diet. Your diet should include all the fruits and vegetables which helps you to make up for the lost blood. During this post-abortion period, you should avoid the intake of dairy products. Alcohol or tobacco should not be used after termination as it may increase the risk of heavy bleeding. You should also avoid going to the workplace because it may happen that the news of your termination would have leaked and people may gossip about it which may make you have a feeling of sadness and guilt.
2. EMOTIONS:
Feeling of sadness, relief and depression are common after abortion. You can discuss all the emotions with your loved one so that you can come up with it. Some of the women due to very firm decisions and control on emotions do not have any type of depression but those who feel can consult a health provider so that they can give you counseling. You can also do meditation to make your brain calm and which helps you to overcome emotions.
3. EXERCISE :
Exercise or any type of physical labor should not be included immediately after termination. You should also avoid resuming your schedule for work out or exercise for at least 2 weeks so that your womb get strong enough and gets healed completely.
