Can you still have the child if you get pregnant after taking birth control?

Patient's question:

During the fertile period, my boyfriend ejaculated inside, and I took birth control pills at the time. After breastfeeding, I still got pregnant. Can I keep the baby?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, there is a possibility of birth defects if you get pregnant while taking birth control pills, but it's not absolute. You can wait a few months and then go to the hospital for a thorough examination. If all indicators of growth and development are normal, you can keep the baby. During pregnancy, avoid smoking and drinking alcohol, and avoid taking medications. You can take folic acid orally to prevent congenital neural tube defects in the fetus. Eat more nutritious foods.
