Patient's question:
Last time I was with my boyfriend, I didn't take any measures to breastfeed. After that, I took emergency contraception pills, but they didn't take effect, and I still got pregnant. It's been almost a month since I got pregnant, and I want to consult here. Can the child conceived after taking emergency contraception pills be kept?Doctor's answer:
Taking emergency contraception while breastfeeding and successfully getting pregnant is fine, as it can be preserved. This is because the time you took the medication is usually around the ovulation period, when the fertilized egg has not yet implanted. Taking the medication will never affect the embryo's growth and development. If you plan to keep the pregnancy, it is acceptable.The estimated time of conception starts from the first day of your last menstrual period. Avoid sexual activity and strenuous exercise during the first three months of pregnancy. Take folic acid until the third month of pregnancy.
