I wouldn't have any objection to using it for a first trimester. However, I had a second trimester PPROM, 20 weeks, recently and my gut feeling was to avoid cytotec in that circumstance and that was also the advice I had from my perinatologists. Instead, I pitted her for 2 days and eventually had to do a D&E, not my favorite procedure - but it was better than doing a hysterotomy.

Any contraindication to using cytotec to facilitate 1st trimester missed AB in a patient with a previous cesarean?

Thanks,
