Birth control
Any way of preventing conception is considered birth control. Barrier birth control such as surgical procedures, condoms, and chemical birth control are just a few alternatives available.
The pill is the most used hormonal birth control method. When taken correctly, birth control tablets are more than 99 percent effective. Isn’t that almost full proof? Unfortunately, that’s not the case. We’re all human, so we miss dosages now and then. In practice, this implies the tablet is only 91 percent effective.
Birth control pills and pregnancy
If you’ve been using the birth control pill and find out you’re pregnant, you might be concerned about harming the baby and the possibility of a miscarriage or stillbirth. However, the majority of research says that you shouldn’t be worried. Although some birth control methods may create difficulties, using birth control tablets or other hormone delivery devices is generally considered safe. However, it’s critical to stop using birth control as soon as you find out you’re pregnant.
Most women wonder if using birth control tablets will harm their chances of getting pregnant. But, according to research, using birth control throughout the first few weeks of pregnancy has no adverse effects on the developing foetus.
However, most females have certain concerns about using birth control tablets while pregnant:
-
Is Miscarriage a Possibility?
Another common fear among women who have an unintended pregnancy in such circumstances is this. However, there is no statistical evidence that can be used to demonstrate a link between the two factors. Birth control pills have little effect after the fertilized egg has been implanted because the hormones in the pill are supposed to thicken the cervical mucus to prevent sperm from entering the uterus and inhibit ovulation. Still, none of these things happen once the fertilised egg has been implanted.

Is there a chance of preterm birth or a low-birth-weight baby?
According to certain studies, women who become pregnant while taking the birth control pill are more likely to have preterm labor, a few congenital urinary tract defects, and low birth weight. However, it’s important to note that the amount of study done in this subject is limited, as exposing a mother and her unborn child to any potential harm may be against medical ethics. As a result, much of the information has come from epidemiological studies comparing moms who used birth control pills during their early pregnancy versus those who didn’t.
-
Is it possible to have an Ectopic Pregnancy?
Taking a progestin-only birth control pill (minipill) when pregnant may raise the chances of an ectopic pregnancy (a condition in which the fertilized egg grows outside of the uterus) in some situations, according to research.
-
Are Birth Defects a Possibility?
Often women who become pregnant unexpectedly while on birth control are concerned that their baby will be born with birth abnormalities.
However, there is no definite scientific proof that using birth control during your early pregnancy increases your baby’s risk of birth abnormalities.
It’s not uncommon to become pregnant while on birth control tablets. If you suspect you’re pregnant, use a home pregnancy test to confirm your suspicions. If you’re pregnant, it’s best to stop taking birth control tablets right away. Or, if you were worried about using birth control pills before you realized you were pregnant, talk to your doctor, but be assured that the danger is low. Before purchasing birth control pills, it is also a good idea to read the product labeling carefully to determine the potential risks of pregnancy. In any event, regardless of any possible risk factors, it’s a good idea to consult a doctor for more information.
