Hello, I can understand your dilema .Misoprostol during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy may be associated with skull defects, cranial nerve palsies, facial malformations, and limb defects.
If you strongly want to continue with your pregnancy, you need to exclude these issues by means of Early TIFFA and double marker test between 11-14 weeks and detailed TIFFA at 20 wks and then take a call accordingly.
So, dont worry. Go to a fetal medicine specialist at ur place and take her help also.
