5 Steps to Deal with an Abortion

Luckily, and despite popular belief, many people who undergo an abortion or unwanted pregnancy in the early stage display resilience and do not suffer significant permanent psychological consequences. Women can deal healthfully with a pregnancy termination by making an informed decision, dealing with the aftereffects, preparing for the procedure, coping with the process, and practicing forgiveness.

• A woman may experience light to moderate bleeding, like a menstrual cycle. But, if bleeding goes on for a long period of time you must seek medical help.
• You may experience cramping that must not last more than a day.
• Keep contact with the nearby medical emergency room.

3) Understand your emotional procedure:

• The distress from a pregnancy termination tends to be greatest before the abortion takes place. Some people might feel negative emotions like anger, guilt, and sadness. The side effects may be mild or intense. However, some people have an easier time during medication process. You may be scared or nervous, and this is okay.
• Disclose in a trusted person (good listener) and explain your feelings.
• Speak to those who have been in the same situation.
• Look online for support groups or forums to discuss your concerns. Ensure they are pro-choice forums.

• Try journaling, talking to a therapist, exercising, creating art, talking to a friend, or anything else, which may help you process or deal with negative emotions.
• Make an appointment with a physician or therapist if you are feeling very overwhelmed, or if you fear that you will turn to risky coping mechanisms.
