Abortions are undergone on an average by 1 woman out of 3. Here are some precautions you need to take in case of an abortion.
An abortion or termination of pregnancy – sometimes it is her wish and sometimes it’s against her consent. Sometimes it is done for some ambitions, or a contraceptive failure, if it is a pregnancy against her wishes, but sometimes it’s forced on her in the desire for a baby boy. Sometimes it’s because of medical problems, and sometimes it’s needed as the couple don’t want more children.
There is also a lot of chaos over legalising or banning abortion, but is not what I am going to discuss here. My concern is the woman’s health.
Whatever be your reason. Whatever be your method. Make sure that the termination of your pregnancy should be by safe methods that suit your body, and by experienced hands.
My experience says that an abortion needs equal care as in delivering a baby. A woman’s body needs similar kinds of safety measures and after care as during delivery. Anything done wrong, and it will lead you to pain for a lifetime. We should consider the aftermath of an abortion or miscarriage. If proper care is not taken, it may lead to backache, swelling in lower abdomen and some infections in uterus and vagina.
Choose your doctor very carefully. Not all have the luxury of this, though it is a critical point.
Do it legally.
Choose the method that best suited for your body. Consult your doc in detail about this – medical termination, or surgical as in a D&C.
Have some tea or coffee (or similar liquids) after an abortion.
Take all possible care and the precautions that are routinely taken after a delivery.
Take complete rest for a few days. Your body needs it after an abortion. If you are a working woman take leave for at least a week, and if you are a homemaker call someone elder from your family for your help. If circumstances mean that you aren’t getting help, then be a little selfish, be adamant about it. It is OK to let your family cope for some time on their own. Thinking about your own health is not a crime.
Regular vagina cleaning and hot bath is essential for proper hygiene care.
Do light exercises daily.
Try to keep yourself happy as sometimes it may drag you to depression – especially if the abortion is against your wish. Also sometimes your body may not take this change positively.
Last but not the least – husbands, your lady needs you more than anything else at this phase of life!
So ladies next time you think of an abortion, please be careful and take care of yourself.
P.S. I am not a doctor, but this is written from my personal experiences. A discussion with my gynaecologist during this process (but I still did some mistakes and gained pain in return) and experiences from society pursued me to discuss it with you. Hope this information help you in decision making.

What I loved was how there is so much in the movie of the SRK we have known, and also a totally new star. The gestures, the smile, the wit and the charisma are all too familiar, but you also witness a rawness, an edginess.
When a movie that got the entire nation in a twist – for the right and wrong reasons – hits the theatres, there is bound to be noise. From ‘I am going to watch it – first day first show’ to ‘Boycott the movie and make it a flop’, social media has been a furore of posts.
Let me get one thing straight here – I did not watch Pathaan to make a statement or to simply rebel as people would put it. I went to watch it for the sheer pleasure of witnessing my favourite superstar in all his glory being what he is best at being – his magnificent self. Because when it comes to screen presence, he burns it, melts it and then resurrects it as well like no other. Because when it comes to style and passion, he owns it like a boss. Because SRK is, in a way, my last connecting point to the girl that I once was. Though I have evolved into so many more things over the years, I don’t think I am ready to let go of that girl fully yet.
There is no elephant in the room really here because it’s a fact that Bollywood has a lot of cleaning up to do. Calling out on all the problematic aspects of the industry is important and in doing that, maintaining objectivity is also equally imperative. I went for Pathaan for entertainment and got more than I had hoped for. It is a clever, slick, witty, brilliantly packaged action movie that delivers what it promises to. Logic definitely goes flying out of the window at times and some scenes will make you go ‘kuch bhi’ , but the screenplay clearly reminds you that you knew all along what you were in for. The action sequences are lavish and someone like me who is not exactly a fan of this genre was also mind blown.
Recent footage of her coming out of an airport had comments preaching karma and its cruel ways, that Samantha "deserved her illness" because she filed for divorce.
Samantha Ruth Prabhu fell from being the public’s sweetheart to a villain overnight because she filed for divorce. The actress was struck with myositis post divorce, much to the joy of certain groups (read sexist) in our society.
A troll responded to Samantha’s tweet, “Women Rising!!” by adding to it “just to fall”. She replied, “Getting back up makes it all the more sweeter, my friend.”
Here’s another insensitive tweet by BuzZ Basket showing fake concern for her autoimmune disease. “Feeling sad for Samantha, she lost all her charm and glow. When everyone thought she came out of divorce strongly and her professional life was seeing heights, myositis hit her badly, making her weak again.” Samantha responded, “I pray you never have to go through months of treatment and medication like I did. And here’s some love from me to add to your glow.”
