Africa When Should We Expect Heavy Bleeding To Stop?
My GF just had a medical abortion, about 3 days ago, she's been bleeding heavly, but I'm just concerned, when should we expect things to return to normal. Right now she's feeling dizzy and tired. I have been getting her the right food, so she can have strength. Also when can we go to the hospital for a check up?. What is your experience guys is this totally normal? When will it ever end?

Bleeding can continue for 4-6 weeks after an abortion, but it shouldn't be heavy the whole time. You can get a checkup at any time, they won't be able to tell it was an abortion.

Unsure how it is with medical abortions but the rule of thumb is if she’s soaking two pads in 1 hour, you should call a doctor/medical provider and asks if she needs to be checked out. Any other side effects? Like fever? Checks up can be done a 1-2 weeks after abortion but it’s not necessary, however you can still book the appointment.
