How to deal with abdominal distension after medication abortion

Patient's question:

Doctor:
Hello! I had a medication abortion on November 26th. After 10 days of bleeding, I went for a follow-up check. The doctor said there was almost nothing left, but then a lot more came out a couple of days later. I went back to ask the doctor, who cleaned me up. After a week, there was no more blood, but I still have bloating. Is it because it's not completely out? I'm so scared!
Follow-up question: Is it really okay? Shouldn't my next period come around these days, right?
