Medical Video: Birth Control Pills
If you concede pregnancy while taking birth control pills, besides being confused, you will certainly feel anxious. What about the fate of the fetus in the womb? Is it true that taking birth control pills during pregnancy can make you miscarry?
What is the effect on the fetus if you take birth control pills during pregnancy?
Birth control pills should not be used if you are experiencing a pregnancy. Birth control pills contain hormones. During pregnancy, hormones in a woman's body are arranged in such a way that they can keep the fetus healthy and can grow well. If you take birth control pills during pregnancy, the hormonal balance will be disrupted. This is certainly dangerous for fetal development, such as miscarriage, low birth weight, or even can cause a baby to be born prematurely.
If you just found out you are positively pregnant when you are taking birth control pills, you should immediately consult an obstetrician so that your doctor can monitor the course of your pregnancy directly. By visiting a doctor, you will find out whether your little one is fine or not.
Deliberately taking birth control pills while pregnant can be said to be an act of abortion. Intentional use of drugs for abortion is illegal and criminal. Just like other crimes, intentional abortion can be subject to legal sanctions in the form of a maximum sentence of 10 years imprisonment and a maximum fine of 1 billion rupiah. Self-abortion without emergency medical reasons such as pregnancies that threaten the life of the mother or the baby they contain can risk bleeding, uterine damage, infection due to abortion, pelvic inflammation, and infertility or infertility.
So, is it safe to use spiral KB?
You don't need to worry. If you are pregnant while still using spiral KB, this contraception will not hurt the fetus or cause birth defects. So, there is no risk to the fetus. Because, the spiral position is outside the pocket of pregnancy. Later when you give birth, the spiral can come out together with the baby.
If the spiral is easily taken, the doctor will remove the spiral. However, spiral extraction can be risky. If there is bleeding, it will cause a miscarriage. That is why, if the spiral is indeed difficult to take, the doctor will let it go.
The same is true for birth control pills or injections. If the doctor sees the development of the fetus well, pregnancy can continue. Otherwise this would be a risk of miscarriage. The most important thing after knowing that you are pregnant, the use of birth control pills or injection of KB immediately stopped. If you continue to take birth control pills or injections because you expect a miscarriage. Not necessarily this will happen, the risk can actually cause fetal disability.
But be aware, the use of spiral KB is at risk for an ectopic pregnancy
You need to be aware of the risk of ectopic pregnancy from the use of spiral KB. If you feel severe pain in the lower abdomen or menstrual bleeding that is more or longer than usual while still using contraception, immediately visit an obstetrician.
Because, this can be a symptom of an ectopic pregnancy or pregnancy outside the womb. If there is an obstacle or infection in the oviduct, the trip of the fertilized egg to the uterus will be disrupted. As a result, the results of conception can develop in the oviduct or outside the uterus.
