Patient's question:
My girlfriend got pregnant unintentionally before, so she got an IUD (intrauterine device). But she got pregnant again. This pregnancy with an IUD in place made us a bit panicked, but it's not much different from a normal pregnancy. So, I wanted to ask you, can the baby be kept if she is pregnant with an IUD?Doctor's answer:
If an intrauterine device (IUD) is placed and an unexpected pregnancy occurs again, this situation is generally not recommended for focusing on early pregnancy. This is because the IUD in the uterus is considered an obligation, and if it grows along with the fetus, it may potentially affect the normal growth and development of the fetus. Therefore, if this situation occurs again, it is generally advised to terminate the early pregnancy and wait until the body has recovered before trying to conceive normally.
