Brief Answer:
Can take it

Detailed Answer:
Hello Mr. XXXXXXX thanks for trusting health care magic.
I understand your health concern.
Yes you can give her ipill if you don't want baby right now and in future have protected sex.
In general you should avoid pregnancy yet as she needs to recover emotionally and physically and prepare herself for next pregnancy.
But don't make it a routine to take emergency pill everytime you indulge in sexual activity.
So take it this time and practice safe sex from now.
Take care
Regards
Dr Manisha
