What Are The Side Effects Of Laxative Foods?

I did an abortion two weeks ago and I was having bleeding but not too heavy since. I was constipated and decided to take a little laxative. But after taking it a mad rush of blood came down with some clots, not alot but the pad was full. Is it the laxative that caused this. I was told to take 4 motrins and watch it. But it got light again. What is possibly happening? Was the laxative no good?
