Patient's question:
My current company does not allow pregnancy, but I have always been taking birth control pills. I took one last week, but this week I found out I am pregnant. I would like to consult a doctor about what happens if a pregnant woman takes birth control pills and whether it can harm the baby.Doctor's answer:
In your case, if you were not pregnant before and then experienced pregnancy symptoms again after taking oral contraceptives, this means you successfully breastfed while becoming pregnant. In such situations, it is generally not recommended to focus on early pregnancy. Whether you took short-acting oral contraceptives or emergency contraceptives, these can have a certain impact on the growth and development of the gestational sac. Therefore, it is usually advised to terminate the early pregnancy in this scenario.
