My wife had abortion two days ago. She came home from hospital yesterday but she still has bleeding and high temperature. She looks depressed. I don’t know how to help her. Should I give her some medications? Is it normal to bleed and have a temperature after the abortion? Is she going to be ok?

I had abortion few years ago and I had bleeding to but only in next 24 hours, also slightly higher temperature. I was disaster few months after. You have to understand that is great emotional shock for the woman. I cried and was so sad. I know that is partly because of the sudden hormonal change. I think that she needs support and counseling more than meds. If the bleeding continues she should ask for medical attention.

If the bleeding is heavy it is best to contact a doctor, if it is light give a couple more days to clear up. If her temperature goes any higher, go to a doctor as it could indicate an infection.
As for her looking depressed, she probably is. Abortion can have a huge impact on a woman. Try talking to her, let her say what she wants/needs to. Don't get angry at her when she cries, it will only make her feel worse.
