Patient's question:
I have a question about pregnancy. My best friend took a birth control pill after having sex last week, but a week later she found out she was pregnant. What should she do? If she decides to keep the baby, could there be a risk of it being deformed? Since my friend really wants this baby, she wants to know if it's possible to keep it.Doctor's answer:
After taking emergency contraception, there was still a recurrence of "leaks," and pregnancy occurred again. Considering that there is no significant difference between the fetus in this situation and one that was not on emergency contraception, the fetus in this case can also be considered for retention. Pay attention to maintaining regular prenatal check-ups and various examinations. In the early stages of pregnancy, rest more, avoid overexertion and strenuous exercise, and pay attention to taking folic acid to prevent neural tube defects.
