After an abortion, you may feel more than one thing.

If you are having a hard time after an abortion You may want to talk immediately. Or you may not begin processing the experience until months or years later. If the abortion is weighing on you, confidential support is available in many communities.

Support may look like - One-on-one peer support - Professional counseling - Support groups - Faith-based abortion recovery programs (one option among others — you choose whether that fits) - Grief support - Resources for fathers or partners affected by abortion

A nurse can help you locate emotional, medical, or faith-based support in Florida if you want it.

If you are worried about your physical recovery Contact the abortion provider or another qualified healthcare professional with medical concerns. Seek urgent care for severe pain, very heavy bleeding, fainting, fever, or other symptoms that your provider has told you could indicate a complication. Call 911 if you are crashing.

Under Florida’s Act, no woman upon whom an abortion is performed or attempted shall be criminally or civilly liable. Still tell an ER what you took so they can treat you. That is not legal advice.

You are allowed to talk about it You do not have to decide whether your feelings are “normal” before reaching out. A nurse can listen and help you locate support — without pressure and without assuming what you believe.

If you are in immediate emotional danger If you are thinking about harming yourself or believe you may be in immediate danger, call 911 or 988 in the United States for immediate crisis support.
