Can you have a baby after stopping birth control pills for 3 months?

Patient's question:

I started taking the medication in July last year and stopped it in January this year. My period usually comes on the 5th of each month, but it didn't come this month. After careful examination, I found out I'm pregnant.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is generally recommended to wait for about a year after taking birth control pills before getting pregnant. The impact of medication before pregnancy on the fetus varies from person to person. It is advised that you undergo prenatal examinations and perform fetal anomaly screening around the 4-5th month of pregnancy. At the same time, you should maintain a positive mindset, consume fresh vegetables and fruits, ensure proper digestion and nutrition, and reduce your body's stress to create a favorable environment for the fetus's growth and development. If you experience any discomfort, please consult your doctor promptly.
