That Time of the Month: Termination for Medical Reasons (TFMR)
That Time of the Month with Naga Munchetty, Dr Nighat Arif and Dr Christine Ekechi
Naga and the doctors are joined by Emma, Lucy, Sarah, Jim and Hayley to talk about terminating a pregnancy for medical reasons (TFMR). That is ending what is often a much-wanted pregnancy due to results from antenatal testing, foetal anomalies or maternal health.
If you are affected by issues in this discussion, there is a range of organisations and websites that can offer you advice and support. You can find them listed on the BBC's Actionline website at bbc.co.uk/actionline.
