Medical Termination (Mifepristone)

This is similar to the procedure described previously for up to twelve weeks.

Mifegynae tablets are given by mouth and two days later you go to the ward where pessaries are put into the vagina. This brings on a "mini-labour". You will be given painkillers and you may require a short surgical procedure called dilation and curettage (D&C) afterwards to remove the afterbirth (placenta).
