Post-Abortion Self-Care

Your Mental Health After an Abortion

The emotional aftermath of an abortion varies greatly from person to person, with feelings ranging from relief to sadness. Experiencing a mix of emotions simultaneously is common due to lingering pregnancy hormones. Seek support from organizations like Exhale and All-Options for free and confidential assistance. Talking to a counselor or confiding in a trusted friend or family member can also be beneficial. Should mood fluctuations disrupt your daily routine or persist, inform your healthcare provider.
