Birth Control, Unborn Babies and Defects

[amyranth.livejournal.com]

This is more an "Out of curiosity" question than anything really.

How often are children who are conceived, even with the mother's use of birth control, born with deformities and/or health problems? Does it happen at all, or is it just a precaution that is printed inside the packaging and books so that if anything severe does happen that the companies can cover their own asses?

Does anyone have any information on this subject?

In this link (http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/birth-control-pill/WO00098), the Mayo Clinic also suggests (but doesn't go into detail) that there may be some concerns to the woman with taking extra estrogen during pregnancy. However, I don't have any specific info on that. But yes, HBC doesn't cause defects (or has never been shown to, more specifically).
