Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Norethisterone is not recommended during pregnancy as it may cause some congenital defects in the fetus, if taken for prolonged period during pregnancy. She should get a detailed anomaly ultrasound at 18-20 weeks of pregnancy to rule out any major congenital anomaly and get appropriate management accordingly. Hope you found the answer helpful. Regards Dr Deepti Verma OBGYN
