Medical termination of pregnancy (MTP)

Medical termination of pregnancy (MTP) or induced abortion refers to the voluntary or intentional termination of pregnancy before full term.

Medical termination of pregnancy (MTP) is generally safe during the first trimester (12 weeks) of the pregnancy.

During the second trimester of pregnancy, significant development of the embryo occurs.

Therefore, if pregnancy is being terminated later than the first trimester, it could affect the health of the pregnant mother
