I'm 10 weeks pregnant and recently had an incomplete abortion, so I went through a D&C procedure on June 9th. Now, I've noticed there's some swelling in my abdomen, and it's quite painful. I only had bleeding for 2 to 3 days after the D&C. Is this normal? Should I be worried?

Swelling and pain in the abdomen can be common after a D&C procedure. However, if the symptoms are severe or persistent, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider. In the meantime, you can take Ibuprofen 400mg every 6 hours as needed for pain relief. Make sure to rest and avoid strenuous activities. If the symptoms worsen or you experience heavy bleeding, seek medical attention immediately.

Can you help us understand what this single umbilical cord might imply or if there's anything specific we should be concerned about?

-It's understandable to be concerned, but a single umbilical artery (SUA) is often seen in healthy pregnancies. While it can be associated with certain risks, many babies with SUA are born healthy. Your doctor will likely monitor the pregnancy closely to
