What should I do if I got pregnant after taking emergency contraception after cohabitation?

Patient's question:

What should I do if I got pregnant after taking emergency contraception after cohabitation? Will the child be healthy? What tests should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, this situation generally doesn't cause much interference, so there's no need to worry too much. Birth control pills are just a form of artificial hormones; they only temporarily adjust a woman's endocrine system and will never cause any long-term interference. Moreover, during the stage when you haven't discovered you're pregnant, the child is still a fertilized egg, and it will never be affected. It is recommended to have regular prenatal check-ups and take sufficient folic acid.
