Patient's question:
I recently found out that I'm pregnant, but I vaguely remember taking emergency contraception after having sex with my husband last time. Although I wanted this child, I'm not sure about its health. Hello, can the child be kept if I got pregnant after taking emergency contraception?Doctor's answer:
After taking emergency contraception pills, you can have children because you had not yet become pregnant at the time you took the medication, and it has minimal interference on the fetus. If you are still concerned, you can undergo an nT scan. The NT scan should be performed between weeks 11 and 13 plus 6 to rule out any abnormalities. This is an early pregnancy check, not a case of frequent contraceptive use, so the issue is not considered significant. I recommend that you still get checked. Wishing you a speedy recovery and good health!
