More Uterus Updates
So I’m starting to think that scheduling the abortion and the cocktail party five days apart was maybe not a brilliant idea. I would have loved another week to recover a bit and to maybe shed some of this water weight. My googling has shown that the cramping is just from my uterus going back to it’s normal un-pregnant size. I read about a “uterine massage” online that can help this along and which I might try out a bit. I’m apparently supposed to do the following:
“Uterine massage can help decrease cramping. To perform uterine massage, use the heel of your hand and push inward firmly on your abdomen while rubbing in a downward motion, from your navel to your pubic hair line. The purpose of uterine massage is to stimulate your uterus to contract back to it’s pre-pregnant size, thus causing bleeding and possibly clots, which your body needs to pass to stop the cramping.”
