*Reason for medical termination of pregnancy: one congenital anomaly, one genetic anomaly and one caesarean scar pregnancy.
†Reason for medical termination of pregnancy: one congenital anomaly.
‡Reason for medical termination of pregnancy: five congenital anomalies (see table 2); in addition, one was due to an intrauterine cytomegalovirus infection associated with anomalies, one genetic anomaly.
§One ectopic pregnancy.
