Got pregnant again after taking emergency contraception. Can the child be kept?

Patient's question:

Patient: Female, 30 years old
Already has one child who is 6 years old.
Originally did not plan to have a second child, but now she is unexpectedly pregnant.
She is considering an abortion but feels a bit reluctant, and is also worried about the potential impact on her child from the health pill Yuzhentong she took four and a half months ago as emergency contraception.
Additionally, she recently had her hair permed and dyed before becoming pregnant, and is unsure if this could also have an effect.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, from the perspective of eugenics, it is generally not a problem. It is recommended to keep the baby and undergo regular prenatal examinations. If any abnormalities are found in the baby, the pregnancy should be terminated in a timely manner. It is important to have proper prenatal check-ups. At weeks 14-19 of pregnancy, a Down syndrome screening should be performed. Between weeks 22-26, a 4D color Doppler ultrasound for prenatal anomaly screening should be conducted. If necessary, an amniocentesis and umbilical cord blood analysis should be done between weeks 16-20 to clearly determine the baby's development inside the womb.
