Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Misoprostol causes uterine contractions and initiate abortion.
If more than 14 days after the use of Misoprostol no abortion has occurred you have an option to keep the pregnancy.
There is a small increased risk of birth defects such as deformities in the hands or feet and problems with the nerves of the fetus if the pregnancy continues after attempting abortion with these medicines.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bimal Desai
