abortion self-care guidelines

Abortion self-care guidelines involve safely managing early pregnancy termination at home. This includes taking medications as prescribed, staying hydrated, resting, and monitoring for symptoms like heavy bleeding, severe pain, fever, or foul odor. It’s important to follow medical instructions closely and seek urgent care if experiencing heavy bleeding (soaking more than two pads an hour), persistent pain, signs of infection, or if symptoms worsen. Regular follow-up with a healthcare provider ensures proper recovery. These guidelines aim to support safety, comfort, and health during the process while recognizing when professional medical assistance is necessary.
