Complications in taking birth control pill while pregnant?
Susan

Got some questions here. Before I knew I was pregnant, I was able to take my birth control pills. I am wondering if will it cause some complications on my pregnancy? Please advise. Thanks.

Susan, I suppose this happens during your early pregnancy. Anyways, unintentional intake of birth control pills will unlikely cause any complications provided that it was stopped very soon.


jane

If you accidentally take birth control pills before you realize that you were pregnant, this should not cause any problems, although you should discuss this with your healthcare provider.


Susan

What about to the fetus? Will it not cause any possible miscarriage? Cause i got a friend who unintentionally take birth control pills not knowing that she is pregnant and she had a miscarriage.


jane

Study shows that continued taking of birth control pill before or after a pregnancy will not abort the fetus. It's also unlikely that taking the pill will have an effect on fetal development. Oral contraceptives don't cause miscarriages because they don't work in that way.

birth control pills is not designed for abortion or miscarriage, it is designed for preventing unwanted pregnancies. further information should well be dicussed with your gyne to prevent complications.


samantha

i think it depends. did you found out that you're preggy earlier? and did you stopped using pills right away? how many months were you preggy b4 you found it out?


Susan

nearly three months as far as i remember. will it cause harm to the baby?


chikka

my God, three months?! i've heard it can caused abnormalities in the baby.


lizzie
