What Could It Be If Feeling Baby Movements After Abortion?

Had abortion at 9.5 weeks (surgical) and am having periods regularly. I have been having cramps, constipation, and been feeling movement. Today I felt movement in my stomach and with my hands. Is this possible? I took pregnancy test (on period now) and it was negative, i have 2 kids so i know what the babys movement would feel like. if i was still pregnant from this abortion, that would put me at about 5/6 months. What should i do as far as going back to clinic or go to obgyn??

Hello,
I have gone through your query and understood the concern. If you are having regular periods after the abortion, chances of continuing pregnancy are nil. You still have a chance of another pregnancy if you remain sexually active without any contraception. Your symptoms can mean an impending period as well as a very early pregnancy. Home pregnancy test can read well only 3-7 days after the missed period. If you wish for an earlier and better clarification, you can opt for the blood test. Please get further suggestions from your consultant. Take care.
