Answer
Hello. In case a woman who has taken emergency contraceptive pills is still pregnant, the safety of the fetus depends on the type of pill taken:
Levonorgestrel-containing emergency contraception: if contraception fails, the pregnancy is still compatible. for safety. Mifepristone-containing emergency contraceptives: Potentially affected fetus. At this time, women need to see a specialist for further examination and advice. However, in order to keep the baby and ensure the baby's safety, women need to have regular prenatal check-ups, do all the tests to screen for fetal abnormalities to monitor and handle promptly if there are problems. Care and examination for this pregnancy should be done in a large specialized hospital, with adequate facilities and technology to most closely assess the baby's development during pregnancy.
