Is it safe to take oral contraceptives during pregnancy?

Ask
Hello doctor! I use birth control pills every day, but last month I forgot to take it for 2 days so I got pregnant. During the time when I did not know I was pregnant, I still used the drug every day. So the doctor asked me if it affects the fetus? And is the risk of impact high? Thank you doctor!

Hello doctor. Doctor, if I'm pregnant for a few days, but I don't know if I still use birth control pills every day, how can I have a baby? Looking forward to consulting your doctor. Thank you.

Answer
Hello! In case a woman who takes oral contraceptives daily is still pregnant, there is no indication to terminate the pregnancy. Until now, there is no evidence that fetal health is affected by oral contraceptives.
However, you should have regular antenatal check-ups for obstetricians to monitor and advise further. You can go directly to the Department of Obstetrics - Hospital under Vinmec Health System for examination and specific treatment directions.
Thank you for trusting and sharing your concerns with Vinmec. Wishing you good health always.
