Patient's question:
I took birth control while I was pregnant because I didn't know I was already pregnant. I want to know if this will have an impact on the child?Doctor's answer:
Contraceptives can cause many side effects, such as nausea, changes in menstruation, weight gain, and acne. However, these side effects are temporary and reversible, and long-term use does not interfere with health. If you become pregnant while taking contraceptives, it may lead to fetal deformities. It is best to avoid this if possible. If you really want to, you must strictly follow prenatal care and examinations. If necessary, amniocentesis and umbilical cord blood sampling can be performed between 16-20 weeks of pregnancy to determine the baby's development inside the womb.
