Patient's question:
Doctor: Hello? I took emergency contraceptive pills Minitrel (two pills) on December 12, 2005, and now I've been tested as pregnant. Can I keep this child? I had an abortion in March 2005, and I really want this child. I often work with computers and copy machines at my job. I'm not sure if I can keep this child. I don't want to have another abortion.Follow-up question: Will this child have any aftereffects? I heard that you need to wait six months after taking birth control pills before getting pregnant. What should I do? I'm so worried.
Doctor's answer:
The side effects of emergency contraception are significant, and it has a higher risk of causing fetal malformations. From an eugenics perspective, it is not advisable to continue the pregnancy. In this situation, if an unintended pregnancy occurs, whether to continue the pregnancy should be carefully considered and decided upon. If you decide to continue the pregnancy, it is recommended to have a 4D ultrasound at weeks 22-26 for a structural anomaly scan to check for any major fetal abnormalities and the development of major organs.
