Does emergency contraception have an impact on fetal teratogenesis?

Patient's question:

What should I do if I get pregnant unexpectedly? The harm is relatively small. Does emergency contraception affect fetal teratogenesis?

Doctor's answer:

Emergency contraception pills can have certain adverse effects on the baby. However, according to current reports, the probability of an unexpected delivery after taking emergency contraception pills, with a healthy birth of the fetus, is still relatively high. Therefore, if preserving the fetus is the goal, it is important to maintain good prenatal care, and later on, to follow regular prenatal check-ups and thorough screening for congenital abnormalities. If the examination results are normal, the impact is not significant.
