Postpartum/postoperative care after stillbirth:
Coping with the loss of a pregnancy is different for everyone. While recovery may seem to be geared towards the physical changes to your body, your emotional needs are just as important. You have the right to grieve in your own way.

You can expect a little pain and cramping for about 24 hours after the procedure. You should take care to rest and not over-strain yourself during the first day. These light cramps can usually be managed with Ibuprofen and should be expected to go away within a few days to 2 weeks. It's recommended to avoid tampons and intercourse for 2-6 weeks and you should schedule a follow-up exam with your doctor in about 4-6 weeks.
