Has the period been like this before abortion?

My mom is a doctor, and she says that when she was a teen and in her early 20s she had serious cramps like yours. She told me her parents had to call for doctor because she was passing out from so much pain. My mom says that those are so called "true periods", the ones that all women are SUPPOSED to have. She says that period cramps symbolizes how much estrogen your body produces and that a lot of estrogen is good because we are women.
