A member asked:
What happens if you don't know you are pregnant and you continue to take birth control till you find out? will it harm the baby?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Just don't see it. : A 2009 study suggested an association between the use of birth control pills during the time of conception and an increased risk of low birth weight or preterm delivery. Also, older research suggested that use of certain birth control pills during pregnancy could pose a risk of developmental problems with a female baby's sexual organs, but we just don't see it. Stop them as soon as you know.
