What happens if my wife was taking oral contraceptives when she was already pregnant?

Question

we found out that she was 5 weeks pregnant. is the baby in danger of coming out with a birth defect?

Answer 1

Oral contraceptives trick the body into NOT allowing the egg to implant on the uterine lining. there is a possibility of birth defects dependant on the type/brand of birth control pill and the hormones it contains. Generally miscarriages are due to abnormalities in the fetus, if she is still carrying chances are there are no problems. but I'm not a doctor.

Answer 2

No, luckily not. Oral contraceptives produce the same kinds of hormones that your wife's body is now producing during the pregnancy - essentially, they fool a woman's body into believing that she's already pregnant and so her body won't release an egg because it believes it would be futile. So her levels of those hormones would have been slightly higher than what is normal for a pregnancy, but it's not harmful for the baby.

Congratulations on the pregnancy!

Answer 3

The baby will come out looking just like your best friend...
Just kidding, it will be fine and no danger to the baby, but ask the doctor to make you feel better.

Answer 4

many times no, yet exceptions are consistently a threat in scientific stuff. in case you spot the attempting out historic past of medicine, they never have one hundred% sucess fee and failure is an crucial area of scientific study. yet there are different reasons too which will finally end up in dealyed classes so dont press the panic button as such and look ahead to a while

Answer 5

Everythings fine! she was only technically taking them for 3 weeks into the pregnancy as the first two weeks an egg hasnt even come yet! But congrats!! make sure she see's her doc and gets those prenatals!!
