Question: I had a home abortion at about 6 weeks along using cytomis 200mg. 4xpills inserted vaginally twice, four hours apart. Large amounts of tissue passed and bleeding subsided. Later on I went to a gynae to check that everything was ok and was told I was still pregnant. The fetus is estimated to be around 8-10 weeks. Everything seems to be normal, position heart rate etc. Gynae advised that with the amount of tissue I had passed previously and considering that at such an early stage I had extremely heightened pregnancy symptoms, there were most likely 2 babies and one had passed out and one had survived, although this isnt an absolute certainty. I cant tell the gynae I took cytomis as its illegal here. I am now considering carrying the pregnancy to term. However I have read that cytomis can cause severe and serious birth defects. How serious can these birth defects be? Are the chances of the fetus being severely affected very high? I need a professional recommendation on whether or not it would be safe to carry to term or if it would be 'kinder' to abort. I can have a detailed scan in 2 weeks time to check for any abnormalities, how accurate is a detailed scan?

Thank you very much. In your personal and professional opinion, do you think their is likely a high chance of abnormalities? Would a detailed scan definitely pick up on all the anomalies you've mentioned?
