What happens if you get pregnant after taking birth control pills?

Patient's question:

I am still in school. Previously, when I went out with my boyfriend, we accidentally had sex again without using a condom. After that, I took emergency contraception pills, but after taking them, I found out I was pregnant. What is going on? I am now feeling overwhelmed and don't know what to do.

Doctor's answer:

Based on the situation you described, it is likely due to successful breastfeeding. If you become pregnant again, this baby should not be kept, as taking birth control pills can affect the fetus after delivery and may lead to birth defects. It is recommended to undergo an abortion procedure. After the surgery, it is essential to rest more and avoid overexertion. In terms of diet, focus on consuming nutritious foods, as your body will be weaker after the surgery.
