“…Lo et al retrospectively compared the effect of gestational age on the outcome of 280 second-trimester termination of pregnancies for fetal abnormalities using vaginal misoprostol 400 mcg 3-hourly, up to 5 doses in 24 hours [20]. It was noted that termination before 17 weeks was associated with higher chance of incomplete abortion (43% versus 25%, OR 2.2) and lower chance of experiencing significant side effects compared to termination after 20 weeks (2% versus 11%).…”

Fetal abnormality is a major cause of termination of pregnancy and preservation of the fetus is important for confirmation of the diagnosis. Various regimes have been reported for termination of pregnancy for fetal abnormality in the first and the second trimesters. In this paper, we compare those regimes that allow preservation of the fetus, in terms of the efficacy in expulsion of the fetus, the factors and the side effects.
