Patient's question:
Doctor, I'm 46 days pregnant. It was an accidental pregnancy. I also took emergency contraception pills, and I drank beer during that time. I'm worried that the child's growth and development might be abnormal. I don't want it. My husband feels the same way. But my in-laws are stubborn. They insist that I must have the baby and say they'll do thorough checks later if it's not suitable. I'm feeling sad. I want to have a medication abortion and tell them it was a natural miscarriage. Can I hold them accountable for the past? If I lose the pregnancy, they will definitely accompany me for thorough checks. Can a doctor determine how I lost the pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Further careful examination cannot reveal this without further investigation. Natural miscarriage is similar to medication-induced abortion, as they both manifest symptoms. However, in your case, it may be considered to retain the pregnancy. This situation can be considered as retaining the child. The main component of emergency contraception pills is a large amount of hormones, which does not have a direct teratogenic effect on the fetus. The above advice is for the question "Can medication-induced abortion be considered as natural miscarriage because it was an accidental pregnancy?" and is hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
