Q: Would the fetus still be safe after a failed abortion using Cytotec?

I used 8 Cytotec tablets orally and vaginally to abort on Jan. 10, 2014 but didn't bleed. I had u/s on Jan.13, 2014 and showed still pregnant at 5 weeks and 6 days but fetus has no heartbeat. OB/GYN told me to come back for another ultrasound on Jan. 25, 2014 for fetal viability. If fetus will have heartbeat on the next u/s appointment and pregnancy will be continued, will there be possible defects physically or mentally to the fetus? What are those possible defects?

to Luckymommyto5: I'm 20, it was an unexpected pregnancy and I'm single. I didn't want to abort the baby in the first place because it was against my religion, I didn't had someone to talk to at first so I was pushed and pressured to do it. I then realized that no matter how not prepared I am, I want to have this baby and continue my pregnancy. I'm glad that my family supported me and they're excited to have the baby. I'm now concerned of what will happen to my baby and I regret what I did. I think there were women also like me who under went this such situation and depression.

Why were you trying to have an abortion in the first place? I'm hoping that the poor baby has moved on and will never have to learn what you've done.

Very early in pregnancy I think things will be corrected in the growth if it isn't a genetic problem. Mental issues wouldn't be known for sure until after birth. Physical can be be hopefully be ruled out at a 20 week ultrasound. At this point though chances of there being no heart beat would be higher than mental issues.
