First of all no pain. Her temperament might change a bit - maybe more clingey or affectionate to her human (you) maybe more aloof - it just depends. I have never experienced female aggression to their humans.
You need to keep her safe from matings. She should always be on lead - even if you have a fenced in backyard. You simply don't know what intact males might be roaming around. You might consider a diaper for her to catch any blood drippings although most females keep themselves very clean.
