Hi,
Welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service.

I have gone through your concerns.
Postinor (levonorgestrol) is a emergency morning after pill.
It usually doesnot cause any birth defects in the foetus .

However, since you have decided to proceed with the pregnancy, it is advisable to do the the first trimester ultrasonography by consulting a obstetrician to rule out any anomalies (also known as anomaly scan).

Hope i answered your query satisfactorily.

Thank you

Regards,
Dr. Riyanka Chail (General and Family Physician)
