Can the Pill Hurt the Baby? Posted: 01-19-06 20:15pm
If you miss your period, should you
continue to take the birth control? If
you do continue, and you are pregnant,
could that hurt the baby? Im scared I
might be pregnant, and im not sure I
should take more pills.
Please help! :?

When are you supposed to start your next
pack of pills? Is there any way you can
take a pregnancy test before then?

My doctor told me that if you take birth
control pills and unknowingly are pregnant
it will nore than likely cause a woman to
misscarry. But I am sure that if she
didnt misscarry then there could be
significant harm to the baby.
I am sure there are a few out there who
have had this happen only to produce a
healthy baby. They were lucky.
I would call your doctor asap and see what
they would suggest. I personally know
two girls who got pregnant on birth
control so it is not impossible.

I've read of a few ladies being preg and
having healthy babies...I haven't heard of
any having abnormal/miscarries...But I
really haven't looked into it either.
You'd be best to test before u start
another pack just incase

Many women become pregnant on the pill and
have healthy babies, but since you are on
the pill it is assumed you do not want
children, so you do have options if
anyhting happens. The pill is not known
to cause defects, and many women have
taken it accidentaly while pregnant
