The safest period for a medical termination of pregnancy (MTP) is during the first trimester, up to 12 weeks of gestation. This is because the fetus is still relatively small and the procedure is less invasive. However, MTP can be safely performed up to 20 weeks of gestation.
After the first trimester, the risk of complications increases as the fetus becomes more integrated with the mother's body. The procedure also becomes more complex.
It's important to note that the safest period for MTP can vary depending on individual circumstances and the specific procedure being used. It is always best to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the safest and most appropriate course of action.
