Maternal and Neonatal Outcomes of Women Conceived Less Than 6 Months after First Trimester Dilation and Curettage

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the maternal and neonatal outcomes of pregnancies conceived ≤6 months after first trimester (p = 0.11] for preterm birth. Conclusion: Watchful waiting or the medical treatment of a first trimester missed abortion present no more risks than D&C to pregnancies conceived within six months of the index miscarriage. Further studies in other settings to strengthen these findings are needed.
