Take care of yourself and love yourself.  Try to share your experience with those who are closest to you. Abortion is normal and common- everybody knows somebody who has had an abortion. You can also reach out to the Exhale hotline.  It is a free service where if you need to  you can talk through your experience having an abortion. 

Once you have passed the pregnancy you can resume normal activities.  Just listen to your body and do not push yourself if you do not feel well.
