Brief Answer:
Can take emergency contraceptive pill safely
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Yes, you can take the emergency contraceptive pill 2 months after the Caesarean section.
It's a single tablet and has least or none side effects on the baby.
However, it may delay your next expected periods by 2-3 weeks due to its hormonal effect.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
