What should I do if I get pregnant after taking birth control pills?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I would like to consult about something. What should I do if I got pregnant after taking birth control pills? Because I don't really want this child right now, and also I'm worried that the child may not grow and develop well after taking birth control pills, afraid of birth defects. It's been one month since I got pregnant, and I'm in need of some clarification from you, Doctor.

Doctor's answer:

Hello! The components in birth control pills are estrogen and progesterone, which are also present in the human body. Taking this medication can interfere with the baby, but the specific types of interference need to be determined through regular health check-ups after pregnancy, including ultrasounds and triple screen tests, to detect any issues early and address them promptly. If you are currently concerned and do not want to continue the pregnancy, you should quickly go to the hospital to have an abortion procedure to terminate the early pregnancy.
