Hello dear,

Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.

Pregnancy symptoms can persist for long (for few months) due to hormonal changes.

Abortion.

Thanks. Does that also explain the fluttering kicks I get in my stomach? Someone said that it's just the uterus healing, others said it's gas. So I m a bit confused. How Long does it take the uterus to heal after a miscarriage?

At least 2-3 months.
