Hi, I had a surgical abortion aweek ago. I was 4 weeks pregnant. The bkeeding stopped the next day but light bleeding started 2days ago .I have also concluded the antibiotics I was given by my doctor. I want to know if its normal and when the bleeding will stop although I ve been working ever since which includes walking and climbing the stairs.

Hi,
Usually after a surgical abortion rest is advised for a week and that includes abstinence and avoiding heavy work. If your abortion was incomplete, it would have resulted in persistent bleeding and pain. As you did not have any of these symptoms, you probably are in for a normal menstrual cycle, which occurs sooner than after a delivery when you have an abortion, either spontaneous or induced. Please have a checkup with your doctor for further guidance. Take care.
