Hi,
It is not necessary to continue prenatal vitamins after an abortion if you do not wish to conceive again too soon. Yet, there is no harm in taking them. They also help in recovery. In addition, you need to take a healthy diet and adequate liquids. Additional supplements like iron, minerals and protein may also be necessary to accelerate recovery. Please have regular follow up and also a follow up sonogram to ensure completion of the abortion. Avoid another pregnancy for six months to ensure complete recovery. Hope this helps.
