Santiago, Feb 4 (efe-epa).- Estefany Cavieres, 28, is quite familiar with the signs of pregnancy. Your abdomen and your breasts hurt, you feel nauseous and tired. So, when she felt those feelings, she was sure: she was one of the 111 Chilean women who had gotten pregnant because of defective birth control pills.
“One day they called me from my medical center to tell me, there had been some birth control pills lots that were bad, but my pills didn’t match those boxes and I wasn’t worried,” the young woman told EFE, adding that she had been using birth control pills administered by public hospitals for about three months.
