Hello and welcome,

I understand your concern. There are some studies that show that using cytotec in early pregnancy is associated with higher rate of birth defects in the baby.

If you want to continue pregnancy then a anomaly scan at 18-20 weeks and amniocentesis to look for genetic defects are the two options. So please consult your gynecologist and discuss these issues.
Hope this satisfies your query.
Thanks for using HCM.
