Hello dear,
I understand your concern.

In my opinion presence of bloating and abdominal cramps along with bleeding is normal.

The bleeding after taking the abortion pills is heavy with passage of clots initially.

Then the bleeding decreases but will continue till a week or more.

The cramps are due to uterine contractions to expel the products of conception.

The bloating can be due to sideeffect of abortion pills.

So whatever you are experiencing is normal.

I suggest you to undergo medical termination of pregnancy only under medical supervision to avoid complications like heavy bleeding,incomplete abortion etc.

Also kindly get an ultrasound after 2 weeks to check for completion of abortion.

Hope this helps.
Best regards....Dr.Srilatha
