Patient's question:
Because of an impulsive encounter with a man, I am now very worried about getting pregnant. Please ask, if I take emergency contraception and get pregnant, can I keep the child?Doctor's answer:
Whether you became pregnant in May or June, taking emergency contraception frequently in the short term can affect fetal growth and development. Emergency contraception belongs to Category X drugs during pregnancy, which has been proven to cause abnormal fetal growth and development. The estrogen and progesterone in emergency contraception act on the embryo, potentially leading to miscarriage in pregnant women or further fetal malformations, particularly affecting external genitalia. From the perspective of eugenics and child-rearing, it is not recommended to preserve the fetus, but the final decision still depends on your own weighing of pros and cons.
