The steps in conducting an MTP are:

-An MTP consultation , whose objectives are:

-to verify the agreement of the couple

-to verify the presence of the certificates of the two medical experts

-to explain the outcome of surgery

-to provide psychological counseling

-to explain the procedures for declaring the child to the civil register and the burial. This is also possible for any fetus born dead within weeks or less than 500g (decrees 2008-798 and 2008-800 of 20 August 2008).

-Anesthesia consultation

-The MTP during hospitalization:

-In the first trimester The techniques are the same as for an abortion:

-surgical aspiration after cervical preparation Mifegyn.

-or medically, by Mifegyn then Cytotec. This technique allows an oetopathologist examination if it is needed.

-Beyond 22 weeks: The technique is medical. A cervical preparation with Mifegyn is followed by preparation for cervical dilatation by laminaria poses. Then, under epidural anesthesia, anesthetics are injected into the umbilical cord (sufentanyl and xylocaine) and, after rupture of membranes, Cytotec vaginally.

-Obstetric suites:

-To facilitate their grieving process, parents have the opportunity to see their child if the term and condition of the body allow. Counseling will be available from the team and, if necessary, during a psychological consultation.

-From a term of 18 weeks, treatment with bromocriptine (Dostinex) prevent lactation.

-If rhesus negative group,we will carry out the prevention of Rh incompatibility (with Rophylac).

-The post-consultation MTP whose objectives are to explain:

-the results of any foetopathologist examination

-recidivism

-support for a possible subsequent pregnancy.
