Patient's question:
I am currently very troubled. Without knowing I was pregnant, I took birth control pills. How can I alleviate this situation? My husband and I usually decide to have sex during the safe period. Last time, during the unsafe period, I decided to take birth control pills. But recently, my period has been delayed, and I found out I was pregnant, which happened to be around that time.Doctor's answer:
If a woman takes birth control pills while pregnant, it is generally likely to cause fetal development issues. However, birth control pills only become effective before the embryo is formed. If the embryo has already formed, the pills will never interfere with it. So, there is no need to worry too much. If you are still concerned, you can also go to the hospital for a thorough check-up to see how it affects the fetus. Pregnant women must pay attention to maintaining a light diet, enhancing nutrient intake, and getting more rest.
