Patient's question:
Last time I had sexual intercourse with my husband, I didn't take any precautions and took emergency contraception afterward. But for some reason, I still got pregnant. I feel that this baby might have problems, so I don't know what to do. I want to consult on what to do if I get pregnant after taking emergency contraception.Doctor's answer:
You got pregnant after taking emergency contraception, which is perfectly normal. It doesn't mean that taking the pill guarantees successful breastfeeding, because the pill may have an impact on the baby's health. In severe cases, it could lead to fetal malformation. Therefore, it's best to consider not having the pregnancy. Additionally, if you decide to keep the child, you should closely monitor the baby's growth and development. If the baby is developing normally, there's no problem. However, if any abnormalities are detected during careful examination, you must immediately terminate the early pregnancy.
