My wife recently had her first period after an abortion that happened due to no heartbeat detected at two months into the pregnancy. It's been quite heavy, and we're on the fourth day now. While it seems to have lightened up a tiny bit today, it's still more than what we expected. Should we be concerned about the amount of bleeding she's experiencing right now?

As she is getting her periods after 2months, it can be little heavy. But if she is having pain or if she is passing clots or fleshy mass she has to visit her doctor. If not it will stop in 2-4 days. If the bleeding doesn't stop in 2-4 days, then also she needs to visit her doctor.

I'm looking for some advice on how to prevent pregnancy without using condoms. Are there any natural methods or other options I could consider? I'm hoping for some quick suggestions.

You can use semen withdrawal method for that if suitable. Avoid physical relation during ovulatory phase of menstrual cycle.
