Taking Birth Control Pill While Pregnant?!
Question: How bad is it for you and the fetus to take the birth control pill while you are pregnant? I was just wondering because everyone seems to know how bad it is, but why? What will it do? Can it cause miscarriage? Make the fetus deformed? What? I have a friend who was taking the pill the first month into her pregnancy. She's seeing her doctor soon but concerned that she's already done some damage. Has she?

Using the birth control pill for the first few weeks of pregnancy is unlikely to harm the fetus.
However, it is not advised to use a hormonal birth control pill while pregnant simply because it puts hormones into your body, and they aren't the hormones that you need to sustain a pregnancy, and mess with your body trying to release those correct hormones into your body. This can cause complications or abortion.
What is the point and why would you do that anyway?
There was a medical report that I looked for when I saw this but couldn't find it. But basicly it cuased not only a misscarriage but a paticlaly dangerous type of misscarrige where the fetus didn't abort and basicly became a mass that was posining the mother. I think that the producers of the FOX show House had an ep on this but they took it way out of context of the report.
There were studies about the pill cuasing genital changes in both male and female babies when axidently taken by Mothers who didnt know they were pregnant,but no one has confirm this. The Motherisk program which tracks various birth defects,they suggest there is no need to be concerned about the pills causing birth defects any more than the background rate of birth defects that normally occurs. However other studies have shown up to a five times higher risk than the placebo. So there are really mixed results on this.
Id say just don't, if you think your pregant stop goto the doctor get tested no harm no fowl
Why the F*** would someone take birth control if they are pregnant?? So long as you STOP when you find out you are pregnant it should not cause any harm to the baby.
Apparently it used to cause male babies to be feminised but that was probably the huge doses they used to give.
Mothers usually worry a lot about their unborn babies and won't stand near smokers etc.
