When Can I Get Back My Normal Energy Levels After Abortion?
Hi,I missed a period for 1 week n realized that I am pregnant, meeting a doc soon for medicated abortion. Will this halt my efforts of weight loss goal? Is there a way for me to keep up with same energy to continue workout? I observed that since a week or to I developed craving on oatmeal or banana cookies kind of stuff ( normally I don t like sweets) , I m worried that this is affecting my efforts of losing that last 15 lb goal.Will I get back to normal energy levels as soon as abortion done? I am a very active person but getting too tired by evening 7 pm n it bothers me a lot.Thank you so much for responding.J

Hi,
I understand your concern.
- Abortion weather medical or surgical leads to a certain level of physical stress & psychological strain too, in addition there would be blood loss ( about 50-70 ml) which will cause post abortal weakness . Recovery from this to complete normal energy will be around 7-15 days.In addition medical abortion would take 10-15 days to complete the process.
This way full recovery may take about a month.
- Instead if you go for surgical MTP by suction method/ D&C evacuation- there will be less bleeding period & recovery would also be faster.( about 10 days total)
* Now about you weight loss programe- It has to be kept aside for a month- after that you would be fit enough to carry out work outs.
- The dietary restrictions can be followed with additional proteins/ vitamins/iron/calcium /other post abortal medication supplements in recovery period. This will restrict weight gain at least , if not reduction.
Thanks.
