you're supposed to wait a week.  Use pads for early bleeding.

suck it up & use a pad until u heal it's not worth the risk

Actually for the first 3-6 weeks you're supposed to use pads. What you think is your period is actually the after bleeding. Which the lamaze teachers should have told you.

they will tell you at your 4 week check up

Use pads until a doctor tells you otherwise.

Why would someone take a lamaze class (which helps teach you how to breath when giving birth) when they are going for an abortion?

To the OP: I'm not really sure. My first thought is that it should be ok for you to use a tampon, but I wouldn't take my word for it. Perhaps you could try calling your doctor or even Planned Parenthood (they are normally pretty good answering my questions).
