Patient's question:
After getting married to my husband, I didn't plan to have a baby at first. We decided to wait and see for two years. But unexpectedly, after taking emergency contraception last month, I got pregnant this month. I feel extremely surprised. Can I have the baby since I got pregnant after taking emergency contraception last month?Doctor's answer:
The situation you mentioned can be considered for carrying the baby. Emergency contraception pills do not cause any adverse effects on the fetus and also do not affect the pregnant woman herself. Since the emergency contraception pills did not take effect, it proves that the time of conception is separate from the time of taking the pills. If it is an accidental pregnancy, it can be carried to term without any impact on the fetus. The main focus should be on maintaining the pregnancy.In addition, the patient should develop a regular lifestyle with good sleep habits, adhere to treatment, and maintain a light diet with aerobic exercise to boost their immunity and reduce the risk of illness.
