Bloating after abortion

I had an abortion over 3 months ago when I was at 6 weeks...and still have a very bloated stomach as well! My stomach looks nothing like it did before the pregnancy, as it is usually so flat and my eating habits haven't changed at all. Feel bloated almost all the time now. I am starting to get discouraged about this as it seems no one has a medical answer for this :( I don't know if it could be an infection or what.

I'm experiencing tenderness in my stomach. And it feels werid when I pee ...... Uncomfortable pressure when I pee. I've read that it could mean a possible infection. I was 15 weeks and 2 days at time of my procedure. Anybody have the same problem

To get rid of bloating... Make a green smoothie with a generous portion of parley included in it for breakfast, work out with layers on to increase sweating, drink plenty of fluids - cranberry juice is an anti diuretic - you can get diet or mix half and half with water.; warm water with lemon and cinnamon is also good. No carbonated drinks and limit sodium and sugar intake. Take epsom salt baths - about two cups in bath. Epsom salts act to suck out the fluids from cells. Epsom salts can also be added to beverages i.e. tea or water to be used as a natural laxative - use about I tbsp (tastes awful but works) Ginger is also fantastic -'eaten or used in the bath - if using in the bath boil it in water first then add the pot contents to a bath. Advil gel caps work the best for me. Rub tee tree oil over the abdomen. Mix brewed coffee with some non scented plain hand lotion and rub it over distended areas f the body - the coffee is an anti diuretic and will reduce water retention, even when applied topically. Steeped green tea and chamomile tea work. Applying a cold pack to the stomach after eating for <1 will help increase digestion. A long application of heat across the abdomen will optimize organ functioning including that of the intestines. You may also want to try a contrast application to flush out toxins - 3 minutes heat to 1 minutes cold. Yoga manipulates the body in ways to help relief gas and is also good for anxiety and stress relief. Applying a cold pack to the top of the head helps with migraines - better yet try putting your feet. In warm water with an ice pack on the back of your neck. Doing an abdominal massage helps with peristalsis - your intestines are located more lateral than most often think (quick far to the side of the stomach) start on the right side of the stomach near the hip, push down and pull up, then across (right under diaphragm), then down towards left hip. Bring left legs towards stomach to help relief gas. Seep on your left side to allow gravity to help with peristalsis.

Hope some of these help....

I feel the exact same way. I had the surgical abortion 4 days ago & the second day I felt bloated (still do) with a lot of gas (especially the day after the abortion). I never took any medicine because I never had pain after, just bloating & sometimes feel little soar.

I don't think you were supposed to be exercising too much or fatiguing yourself. That causes more bloating. Maybe that's why? Not sure but I have the same issue. Was just 4 weeks along and didn't look pregnant at all. Now you would think I was 5 months pregnant, can't suck in. Was very active and fatigued my body. This caused more discomfort and bloating. Are you better now?

Basically..... 

abortion can cause IBS (iritable bowel syndrome that causes boating, gas, wind, cramps, constipation etc) which I still have. it is a life long taking extra good care of your body after abortion.

because of the strong stress or medication that your body has gone through

your gut and body needs support.

look into treating IBS . this might help as it is very related to emotional stress.

heyy i need your help i experiencing bloating, diaherra,and i have alot of gas

Hi I did a abortion when I was 5 Weeks pregnant and my belly is big why

I had an Abortion pill

A had an abortion pill 2weeks ago my stomach is so big

i had a surgical termination yesterday and my stomach is bloated bad and and im alot of pain is this normal?

Did your surgical abortion succeed? I have gas too and an infection I'm scared the procedure didn't work

Im no doctor but from reading all of this plus my own symptoms from a surgical abortion (3days ago), i feel as if its just your body reacting to a pregnacy, the after meds and overall stress. Im currently blocked up with no end in sight, i find bringing my knees(slowly) up to my stomach/ then back down(multiple times ) helps move things around; when used with a heating pad i did have some pressure lifted.
If you have alot of pain after two weeks from bloating call the clinic back, they can either help physically or at least ease your mind.

Did your belly ever go down?!

you might still be in the process. I had surgical a week ago and passed a huge blood clot today and feel like I have rocks in my intestines, that's how bloated and gassy I feel! :( good luck to you hun
