Patient's question:
I didn't plan to have a child so soon before, I was taking birth control pills, but I unexpectedly got pregnant. Can I continue the pregnancy while taking birth control pills?Doctor's answer:
If the patient has taken emergency contraception, the principle of this medication for breastfeeding is to enhance the viscosity of cervical mucus to prevent sperm from fertilizing the egg or implantation. However, if pregnancy occurs after taking the contraceptive pill, it can still be considered. Currently, there is no clinical evidence to prove that this medication has teratogenic effects on embryonic development. However, the patient should undergo thorough prenatal screening during pregnancy to ensure a healthy birth for the fetus.
