Patient's question:
I took emergency contraception on October 6th, but my period came at the end of the month. In November, I didn't take any contraceptive measures, and I ended up getting pregnant. Could the emergency contraception I took in October have affected the fetus?Doctor's answer:
Hello, there is a certain risk of pregnancy after taking emergency contraception, as it may lead to fetal malformations. If you want to keep the pregnancy, you can go to a regular hospital to have a Down syndrome screening between weeks 14-19 and a 4D ultrasound between weeks 22-26 to rule out fetal malformations. For now, pay attention to maintaining hygiene in the perineal area, enhance nutrient intake, and regularly visit a regular hospital for prenatal check-ups. I hope my answer can help you.
