Patient's question:
I am 28 years old this year, and I have been pregnant for two months. In the first month, I didn't know I was pregnant and even took emergency contraception pills. I am very worried, so I want to consult a doctor about whether taking emergency contraception pills during pregnancy can be harmful to the fetus.Doctor's answer:
The embryonic sensitive period is from week 3 to week 8 of delivery, which is equivalent to week 5 to week 10 of amenorrhea. If these weeks are at a critical scale, the impact on the embryo is relatively significant. If delivery is within 3 weeks, taking medication generally has little or no effect. In other words, if the medication does have an impact, it usually results in miscarriage, while if there is no impact, normal development occurs. It is recommended to go to the hospital for an ultrasound to determine the specific gestational week and check if the medication time falls within the sensitive period.
