You mentioned that you took an emergency contraceptive pill, and now you're pregnant, and you're wondering if it's going to have an effect on your baby. The studies on this are sparse, but the ones that we do have show that there are no ill effects on a baby if a mother was taking emergency contraception at the time she got pregnant. I do suggest talking with your doctor though. Make sure they know that you took emergency contraception, and they can discuss it in more detail with you, and decide if there's anything that warrants further investigation during pregnancy. Good luck with everything, I hope your pregnancy goes well.
