Brief Summary   Second trimester termination of pregnancy approximately accounts for 10-15% of abortions being performed worldwide and its incidence is gradually increasing. The challenges faced by an obstetrician increase as the number of previous caesarean increase as there is no consensus on safe method of termination in these cases. We planned this study to find out the efficacious and safe dose of misoprostol for second trimester termination of pregnancy in women with previous caesarean section as there’s higher chance of complications in scarred uterus compared to unscarred uterus
