Patient's question:
My last menstrual period was on November 15th. I took an emergency contraceptive pill on November 30th. Since December 30th, my period hasn't come. I went to the hospital for an ultrasound, and they said I was pregnant. I would like to consult about what to do if I took an emergency contraceptive pill without knowing I was pregnant.Doctor's answer:
In the case of taking emergency contraception once while pregnant, it can have a significant interference on the fetal brain and nervous system development, but it is impossible to be specific. If you plan to preserve the fetus, it is essential to pay attention to comprehensive prenatal check-ups. If there are no abnormalities, there should not be a major issue. Pay attention to relaxing your mind and not putting too much pressure on yourself. During pregnancy, focus on a diet that enhances nutrition, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and regularly visit the hospital for prenatal examinations.
