My wife is about 5.5 weeks pregnant and we had an ultrasound done. The doctor gave us an MTP Kit but we can't remember how were supposed to take it. With all the stuff happening because of COVID, we're really trying to avoid another visit to the hospital. Can you explain the steps for taking the MTP Kit?
