These are things to do after an abortion:

Drink lots of fluids

Stay off work for a few days if you can

Take vitamins, eat healthy food, and try to sleep

No exercise for two weeks

No swimming or tub baths for 2 weeks.                                                    Don't lift anything over 15 pounds for two weeks, don't use ANYTHING vaginally for 2-4 weeks - no sex, no tampons, no douches.                                                                                                                                    You can ovulate as soon as two weeks after an abortion, which means yes, you could get pregnant again within two weeks after an abortion!

You should NOT have sex again unless you feel physically recovered and remember you can fall pregnant again after two weeks of an abortion. So once you decide you are ready to resume sexual intercourse again, make sure you are using birth control right away. As many of us know, birth control is NOT 100% effective. So it's very important that you don't have sex again until you are healed physically and emotionally, and you have a clear consensus on what will happen if you become unexpectedly pregnant again.
