Thanks for writing to healthcaremagic.

I can understand your concern.

Mesoprostol contraindicated during pregnancy.

It may cause abortion, premature birth and premature delivery if used during pregnancy.

You can consult a Gynecologist and get yourself examined and ultrasound test done to see the foetal well being.

Hope it is useful, feel free to discuss more.
