Patient's question:
Two days after intercourse, she took emergency contraception, but later became pregnant with twins. Can this child be born? Will there be any birth defects due to the medication's effects?Doctor's answer:
??????Current research has shown that if you are taking a progestin-only contraceptive pill, the fetus can be carried to term without any adverse effects on the baby. There is another possibility: if an impact does occur, the fetus may stop developing or naturally miscarriage within three months. Therefore, you should wait for three months and, if there is bleeding or abdominal pain during this period, do not attempt to preserve the pregnancy but allow nature to take its course.
