Patient's question:
I just got married to my husband, and I always feel that we are still too young. I want to enjoy our youth for a couple of more years, and we don't plan to have children. During sexual activity, we always use birth control pills. But now, it turns out that my period didn't come, and I only found out I was pregnant after buying a pregnancy test. However, I don't want to keep the baby. I want to know what the consequences are for a pregnant woman taking birth control pills?Doctor's answer:
If you take emergency contraception occasionally once, it generally will not affect the fetal growth and development. According to clinical diagnostic data, the probability of fetal malformation does not significantly decrease in cases where pregnancy occurs after using emergency contraception. If you want to have a child, you can focus on early pregnancy now. However, if you do not want to have a child, you can arrange for an ultrasound diagnosis to confirm an intrauterine pregnancy before undergoing a miscarriage.
