Many women of childbearing age take medication for minor illnesses or go for a medical checkup and get an X-ray, only to find out that their period is late after the due date. When you go to the hospital for a checkup, you are told that you have an unwanted pregnancy. This is both happy and frightening news! Why are they scared? It is because there is a big question for them: if they take medicine or take X-ray in early pregnancy, can they still have the baby? If you go to the hospital and ask the doctor, if you meet an irresponsible doctor, he may suggest aborting the baby without even thinking about it; if you meet a responsible doctor, he will usually think to check the drug instructions, but the Chinese drug instructions usually only indicate “prohibited” or “caution”. “The warning does not mean that the fetus will be deformed if the mother takes these drugs, but sometimes the doctor may directly advise the pregnant mother to abort her baby in order to protect herself from such warnings. Is this really the right thing to do? In fact, there is a lot of clinical evidence from abroad that the use of medication or x-rays in early pregnancy (note: this refers to the period before the 4th week of pregnancy, i.e. 28 days after the first day of the last menstrual period) can only have two effects on the baby in the womb: the first result is that the baby receives all the adverse effects and miscarries naturally; the second result is that the baby is not adversely affected and grows normally. The second result is that the baby is not adversely affected and grows normally. This is the internationally accepted theory of “all or nothing” in early pregnancy. In other words, the use of drugs or X-rays before the fourth week of pregnancy will not result in the birth of a baby with abnormalities that people are worried about. This is because during the early stages of pregnancy (i.e. before the 4th week of pregnancy), the sperm and egg have just joined and are busy setting up camp in the uterus. At this time, the fertilized egg only undergoes simple cell division, which increases the number of the same cells, but it has not yet differentiated into different cells, tissues and organs. In addition, the embryo has a self-correcting function during cell division. If the cell division goes well, the fetus will grow up healthily, and if the cell division does not go well, the baby will be eliminated naturally. Many people, including some medical professionals, do not necessarily understand this, and once they hear that they have taken drugs or x-rays in early pregnancy, they recommend aborting the embryo, which has resulted in many human tragedies, and many pregnant mothers follow the doctor’s advice to abort the fetus for insurance purposes, but in fact the aborted fetus is a healthy one. Some people recover from the abortion and can conceive again, but others are very unlucky and will probably never conceive again. It is important to emphasize that in the case of an unplanned pregnancy before the 4th week of pregnancy, if the embryo has not been aborted spontaneously, the baby can be kept on an “all or nothing” basis. However, for couples who are planning or preparing for pregnancy, to avoid spontaneous abortion due to medication or x-ray, it is important to test for pregnancy before each medication or x-ray and confirm that you are not pregnant before taking the x-ray. Also, to be on the safe side, you should avoid pregnancy for 3 months after the x-ray, including both men and women. The emergency contraceptive pill does not cause fetal malformation Everyone will encounter this or that in life, take the matter of childbirth, some people want a baby, looking forward to their pregnancy all day, and sometimes even to take drugs to treat infertility, tossed for a long time the baby does not come; while some people do not want a baby, but the emergency contraceptive pill can not stop the baby to come to the door. In clinical practice, there are often women who take emergency contraceptive pills after intercourse and still end up pregnant, so can they have the baby? Before answering this question, it is important to understand what the emergency contraceptive pill is. The main component of the emergency contraceptive pill is the progestin levonorgestrel (such as the well-known Yutin). These pills work by inhibiting ovulation, preventing the union of sperm and egg, and preventing the fertilized egg from being laid in the uterus. Its usage is to take one tablet (0.75 mg) as soon as possible within 72 hours after intercourse, and the second tablet 12 hours later; or two tablets (1.5 mg) together, there are already 1.5 mg of emergency contraceptive pills on the market, such as gold yutin, which can be taken once. If vomiting occurs within two hours after taking it, you should take a refill immediately. People who get pregnant even after taking Yutin often suspect that they may have taken a fake pill, how can they still get pregnant after taking the pill? In fact, the success rate of these pills is not 100%, but around 80%, so women still have a 20% chance of getting pregnant after taking these pills. If the pill does not succeed in suppressing ovulation, in preventing the union of sperm and egg, or in preventing the fertilized egg from being laid in the uterus, then, according to the “all or nothing” theory of early pregnancy mentioned above, the baby conceived in this case can be kept if it is not aborted. This theory gives us a message: if you are not explicitly taking medications that are prohibited during pregnancy, do not make the decision to terminate the pregnancy easily, but go with the flow and wait and see what happens. This is because even if there is concern in case there is something wrong, it can be subsequently ruled out by means of medical detoxification tests. Nowadays, obstetric testing is quite sophisticated and can monitor fetal development through B-ultrasound, amniocentesis and various other tests. It is not too late to terminate the pregnancy in case any problem is detected in the fetus.
