Can I have a baby with an IUD?

Wearing an IUD can be said to be a common contraceptive method in clinical practice. The chance of contraception with an IUD is very high, but it is not absolute. Therefore, some people get pregnant during the process of wearing an IUD. The issue of pregnancy with an IUD must be taken seriously. Generally, pregnancy with an IUD will have a direct impact on the physical health of the woman and the fetus, and may even cause stillbirth in severe cases. Can I keep the baby with a ring?

1. Check and confirm

First, you need to go to the hospital for a B-ultrasound to confirm whether it is intrauterine or ectopic before you can make a decision. Pregnancy with an IUD is prone to miscarriage, premature birth, and even affects fetal development. In some cases, it may cause fetal defects. Therefore, from the perspective of eugenics, children conceived with an IUD are generally not kept. Early termination of pregnancy is recommended. B-ultrasound examination is required to confirm pregnancy with an IUD, and B-ultrasound examination can rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy. Heavy bleeding from ectopic pregnancy is an emergency that can threaten life at any time. Once abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, etc. are found, medical attention should be sought promptly.

2. Not recommended

The contraceptive rate after wearing an IUD is generally quite high, but sometimes due to the downward movement of the ring, it can lead to unwanted pregnancy, so some women can get pregnant while wearing an IUD. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a check-up in time. If the pregnancy is confirmed, you should have the baby first regardless of whether you want the baby or not. Generally speaking, it is not recommended for women to have children after getting pregnant with an IUD.

3. Harms of pregnancy with an IUD

From the perspective of eugenics, whether it is an intrauterine or extrauterine pregnancy, it is generally recommended that those who conceive with an IUD terminate the pregnancy. If there is early pregnancy reaction or a positive pregnancy test, it indicates the possibility of pregnancy. If the pregnancy is intrauterine, it is not recommended to continue the pregnancy. The incidence of spontaneous abortion is high in women who conceive with an IUD, and pre- and postpartum bleeding, stillbirth, and premature birth also often occur. Those who successfully become pregnant may face the possibility of pressure from the IUD, which may affect the development of the embryo. Therefore, in most cases, it is recommended that women who conceive with an IUD terminate the pregnancy as soon as possible.
