Four Weeks Pregnant, Unwanted 72 Ineffective. Effect Or Deformity In Baby?
Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for posting your query.
Usually Emergency contraceptive pills as Unwanted 72 do not affect the developing foetus and woman giving birth to babies with deformity after taking the pills have not been reported.
But it is the decision taken by couple whether they want to continue the pregnancy or not as there is no specific study which has proved this.
Start taking Folic acid once a day as it prevents any neural defect in the foetus and visit a Gynaecologist for examination.Have healthy nutritious diet and drink lots of water.
You might be advised USG scan after a week or a Transvaginal scan which helps in giving a better picture of the development.
Hope this answers your query.I will be available for follow up if you have any doubts.
Regards
