If you could get pregnant
If you could get pregnant, you have what healthcare professionals call ‘childbearing potential’. Take extra care with contraceptives Medicines for epilepsy, mental health, or chronic pain can harm an unborn baby before you know you’re pregnant (see page 11 ‘The risks to your unborn baby’). So you should take extra care with contraceptives if you have childbearing potential. Taking extra care will minimise the risk of getting pregnant by accident.
