hi everyone. i was wondering if someone would be able to help me out on a question i have.

i recently had an abortion, (i've had 2 before) but this time i went to another clinic. the first two i had done at the same place, but i decided to go with a clinic that was a little closer to home this time. anyway...about 3 days after my abortion, i start haveing blood clots come out. now usually this wouldn't bother me since i know that some blood clots are normal. what's making me worried though is the fact that these blood clots are pretty big and there's just so many/much of them that they are soaking though 2 super maxie pads in about an hour and half and that they are even starting to run down my leg. when i called up to the clinic with my concerns i was told that this is normal and that i should just lay down for the rest of the day. i told this advice and i listened to it but it only made things messier. would anyone know what might be going on?? with the other two abortions i didn't have this problem and i've had a since between the first two abortions and now this one. will someone please help?!?!?!

I work in an abortion clinic.

That is too much bleeding. Did they give you any medication to reduce bleeding? Usually methergine is given to help the uterus contract, which also reduces blood loss.

IF THEY cannot give you answers, then maybe you could call the OTHER clinic you went to for advice.
