Problem: Article: You’ll likely go home after your procedure to continue your recovery at home. Take it easy for the rest of the day. Sit or lie down as much as possible, and relax so that your body can recover. Follow all of your doctor’s advice so that you can feel better. If you have any questions, call your doctor’s office to ask. You should be able to resume your normal life the day after you get your abortion. Just don’t push yourself to do too much too fast. Take it easy and listen to your body. If your doctor recommends you rest longer, follow their advice. You'll likely have cramps and pain for a week or 2 after your abortion as your body adjusts back to its pre-pregnancy state. Some activities may make your pain worse. If this happens, stop the activity and rest until you feel better. For instance, you might start to feel pain while carrying your groceries. If this happens, stop and ask someone to help you. You might feel better right after your procedure, especially if you had your abortion early in your pregnancy. However, it’s still important that you rest your body as you recover. Don’t engage in exercise or any activity that strains your body for at least a week. This gives you time to heal and helps prevent discomfort. You may be able to do low-impact exercises or yoga. However, check with your doctor first. After your abortion, your cervix will take time to close. This means you’re at a greater risk for infection in your cervix or fallopian tubes in the week following your abortion. To protect yourself, avoid products and activities that might lead to an infection. Here are some precautions you should take for at least 1 week:  Don’t have sex. Use pads instead of tampons. Avoid fragrances, bubble baths, bath salts, and bath bombs. Don’t go swimming. Skip douching. Your doctor might prescribe an antibiotic to help you recover without developing an infection. Take your medication exactly as directed so that you don’t risk an infection. Don’t stop taking your medication even if you start to feel better. It’s possible that you could develop an infection. Your side effects might cause you discomfort, but you’ll start to feel better in a few weeks. Expect your side effects to peak after 3-5 days. Then, they’ll start to improve. Here’s what to watch for:   Bleeding or spotting that lasts for 2-6 weeks (though you might not bleed at all) Bleeding that starts 3-5 days after your abortion Discharge that’s brown or black Cramping that’s slightly more painful than a period Tender, swollen breasts Fatigue While you likely don’t need to worry, you might develop severe side effects if there’s a complication. If there is a complication, you’ll likely experience the effects within 1 week of the procedure. If this happens, you need quick treatment so you can get better. Call your doctor or visit an emergency room if you have the following symptoms:  Fever over 101 °F (38 °C) Chills Heavy bleeding, such as soaking through 2 or more pads in an hour A blood clot the size of a lemon Severe pain or cramping that medication doesn’t relieve Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea that lasts longer than 24 hours Fainting or dizziness Foul smelling vaginal discharge Pregnancy symptoms 2 weeks after your abortion Depression Visit your doctor to get a check-up to make sure you’re recovering properly. Usually, this will be a routine visit. If you have any questions about your recovery, ask them during your appointment. If you aren’t currently taking birth control, it’s a good idea to discuss your options during your follow-up appointment.
Summary: Rest and relax on the day of your procedure. Return to your normal activities the day after your procedure. Stop any activity that triggers your pain. Avoid strenuous activity for the first week after your abortion. Avoid activities that can cause an infection for at least a week. Take your prescribed antibiotic to help prevent an infection.

Problem: Article: A Flash Pass is great for skipping lines, but it can be quite costly if you are going to Six Flags with a larger group. A Platinum Flash Pass (the most expensive pass) would cost $896 for a family of four, and that’s not including parking and food. The Flash Pass would definitely be worth it on busy days, but it might not be if you visit the park when it’s not peak season.  A regular pass is usually about $45. You can go to the park and look at the screen that shows wait times to decide if the pass will be worth it. Six Flags theme parks may have different Flash Pass plans and prices, though many parks do offer the same plans. Typically, three different Flash Passes are offered. There is a regular Flash Pass, Gold Flash Pass, and Platinum Flash Pass. The regular Flash Pass is the cheapest, and the Platinum is the most expensive. Determine which plan best meets your needs and fits your budget.   The Gold Flash pass promises to reduce wait time by 50%. This pass usually costs about $70. The Platinum Flash Pas promises to reduce wait time by 90%. This type of pass can range from $100 to $145. Some parks also offer an All Season Flash Pass. The simplest and easiest way to buy the Flash Pass is online. Go to the Six Flags website for the location you will be visiting. Find the section for Flash Passes and choose a pass. Select how many people will be in your group. Although up to six people can be on one device for the pass, you will need to purchase each pass separately. Fill in your billing information and then you can pick up the pass when you arrive at the park.  It is important that you make sure you’re buying a Flash Pass for the right Six Flags theme park. You will need to bring your ID with you. Only one person per group will need to leave their ID at the registration center. Their ID will be held while using the Flash Pass and will be given back when they return the device. It’s okay if you can’t buy the pass online. You can buy a Flash Pass when you purchase your entry tickets at the gate of the park. Keep in mind that the wait will probably be longer if you wait to purchase the tickets and Flash Pass at the park. When you purchase a Flash Pass, you will usually receive a Q-Bot, which is a device used to make ride reservations. One Q-Bot can be used for up to six people. The device resembles an oval-shaped beeper. The Q-Bot will have a screen that you can scroll through to make reservations for rides.
