Emergency contraception for a nursing mother — I'm really confused about this, what should I do?

Since this is an urgent situation, I want you to know: Emergency contraception (levonorgestrel or ulipristal acetate) is generally considered among alternatives for nursing mothers, but must always be used under doctor supervision.
You should urgently see a pharmacist or OB/GYN — depending on which pill it is (single dose or two doses, levonorgestrel or ulipristal acetate) and your baby's age, nursing time can be adjusted. As general information: levonorgestrel emergency contraceptives are considered safer during nursing than some other options, but definitely don't use without asking an expert.
The most right thing to do right now is to visit a pharmacy and explain the situation or reach an OB/GYN. If your baby is younger than 6 months or was premature, this becomes even more critical.
