Is there an effect on pregnancy if you get pregnant while taking birth control pills?

Patient's question:

I took birth control pills on October 28th, and seven days later, on December 4th, I experienced bleeding that lasted for five days. After that, my period didn't come. On November 12th, I found out I was pregnant. Did taking birth control pills affect this? I've been feeling upset about this.

Doctor's answer:

If you took birth control pills a month ago and have now become pregnant, and if the pregnancy is stable and there are no signs of miscarriage, it is generally not a major concern. However, from the perspective of optimal reproduction, it is best not to have taken the medication. If you really want this child, it is recommended to undergo regular prenatal screening for fetal abnormalities during the pregnancy. Regular check-ups can help detect any abnormalities early for timely treatment.
