if a girl is already pregnant can birth control pills prevent the baby from being developed?

Question

... thanks.... again. :)

thanks all :)

Answer 1

No. Some people still take their birth control pills and dont realize they are pregnant and it doesnt do anything, but you know if someone is pregnant then they need to not do somehting stupid like that. They need to own up to their responsibilities, becuase they knew what the risks were. You dont kill a baby for something you did.

Answer 2

Birth Control Pills have not been determined to have any effect on the developing baby. The level and combination of hormones in The Pill is designed to prevent ovulation in a woman and should not be taken while pregnant, but mainly because they are not needed. I took The Pill for 17 weeks before I found out I was pregnant. I stopped taking them the day I found out. My daughter was born perfectly normal and healthy and is 9 years old now.

Answer 3

Nope. Birth control pills prevent fertilization by regulating ovulation. Once the ovum has been fertilized by the sperm a baby is on the way. Only thing that will stop it is an abortion. And the "emergency contraception" related to in the post above mine only works if the female is 8 weeks or less into the pregnancy, it terminates an early pregnancy...basically an abortion in pill form, has to be presecribed by a physician and ONLY between the 2nd and 8th week. It is against the law here in the states to prescribe it after the 8th week.

Answer 4

I am not sure of the meaning of this question I guess but I will try and answer it the best that I can. I am not sure if you are meaning to try and actually prevent the growth or if you are worried that the development will be compromised in some way. So here goes:

If she continued taking her birth control pill because she didn't realize she was pregnant, don't be alarmed. Despite years of this accident happening, there's very little evidence that exposure to the hormones in birth control pills causes birth defects.

Still, the birth control pill is a potent estrogen. Lessons learned from women who took diethylstilbestrol — a synthetic estrogen that was later linked with cancer — to prevent miscarriage in early pregnancy suggest that such exposure should be minimized.

Once she learns that she's pregnant, she should stop taking the birth control pill.


Next question:

Can she use several birth control pills at once for emergency contraception?

It's possible but not recommended. Don't try taking several birth control pills in an attempt to prevent pregnancy without first consulting with your doctor. Using birth control pills in this way hasn't undergone formal testing, so it's unknown whether this is even a safe thing to do.

There is, however, a special type of contraceptive pill that's specifically designed to keep you from becoming pregnant if you've had unprotected vaginal intercourse. Emergency contraception pills contain progestin or a combination of estrogen and progestin — similar to what can be found in many birth control pill formulations but in higher concentrations. Check with your doctor, local emergency room or Planned Parenthood clinic if you're in need of emergency contraception.

Answer 5

theres a number of ways this question can come across... first you are trying to kill the baby, or you took them without knowing that you were pregnant? yes, and no. by doing it you could kill the baby, but also if the baby lives there more then likely be some birth defects with it. i would suggest not doing it!

Answer 6

that and worse. think of it this way, morning after pills are a high dose of birth control

Answer 7

Nothing. The only thing it does is stop ovulation. If she's already pregnant, clearly, she's already ovulated. It won't do a thing.

Answer 8

No.Once the egg has been fertilised.the baby will begin to develop inside of the mothers womb.
Birth control pills will not stop the baby from developing.

Answer 9

Yes it will kill the baby so don't take the pills it's killing a human being.

Answer 10

Since you have asked a similar question already, it seems to me, whether you are male or female, you arent ready to be a parent. Which means you should have thought about it before you did anything to get you in this situation.
