What happens after abortion?
Abortion impacts women physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually and every individual is affected differently. While some women experience relief after having an abortion, many others suffer from depression, anxiety, poor body image, or a numbness and inability to bond with others. Research shows that many women view termination as a loss similar to natural miscarriage. Just as it is important to have a follow up appointment with your doctor to make sure that your abortion has not resulted in infection or other health complications, it is also important to reach out to a professional or someone you trust to talk about your emotional and mental state regarding your abortion.
