What happens if you get pregnant after failing to take birth control pills?

Patient's question:

What should I do if I get pregnant unexpectedly? The harm is relatively small. What if I get pregnant after failing to take birth control pills?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description, there is a possibility that birth control pills may affect fetal development delay or teratogenesis. The specific extent of the impact cannot be predicted at this time. If you insist on continuing the pregnancy, it is best to have a Down syndrome screening between weeks 14-20 of pregnancy and a 4D color Doppler ultrasound for prenatal teratogenesis between weeks 22-26. If necessary, an amniocentesis and umbilical cord blood analysis should be performed between weeks 16-20 to monitor the fetal development in a timely manner.
