Using Birth Control While Pregnant? Posted: 08-17-04 02:10am
I've always been curious as to what could
happen if a pregnant woman continued to
use birth control.
I once read a story of a woman who was
only hours away from giving birth and she
took a handful of birth control pills. By
the time she gave birth, the child was
dead.
...............
Can this actually happen? And if not,
what (if anything) can happen if a woman
takes birth control during pregnancy?
............

If a woman is already pregnant a morning
after pill is unlikely to have any effect
on the foetus/embryo.
If you got pregnant while on birth control
again it isn't likely to harm the growing
child, but don't rule out the possibility
of birth defects. Same as if you started
birth control if you were already
pregnant.
I believe in .U.S that before you get
birth control (pills/shot) you have an
orientation and exam if it is your first
time on birth control. I understand they
will ask if there is any chance you could
be pregnant and test for it.
Scaredbaka I am going to post you get
another link to a site found by
hotasfrick, if you care to read any of it
it does answer most of your concerns.

I have heard that birth control pills are
like the morning after pill and can cause
abortion if u take a lot of them at once
but I dont know.

Some brands can be used that way under a
doctors direction - however it is not
advisable due to the high level of
chemicals - effectively an overdose
