What Causes Heavy Vaginal Discharge After Surgical Abortion?

Hello, I had a surgical abortion a week ago yesterday and afterward I bled that day and the next day pretty heavily and then it slacked off to nothing. For the past 4 days or so I have been having a watery discharge that comes and goes, but is a very heavy flow when it happens. I was wearing pantyliners but had to switch to overnight maxi pads to keep up with the discharge. Is this normal or something I should be worried about? Thank you
