It is important to go to each of the follow-up appointments. Side effects of this abortion procedure include bleeding for 3 weeks or more, swelling of lips or face, cramping, pain, vomiting, chills, dizziness, fatigue, infection, back pain, and other complications.

If the baby is not completely removed, and infection. Please talk to your doctor for better suggestions. Thank Yiou!
