Birth control

So I gave birth 6 months ago almost 7 months ago and have been on BC a little over 4 months almost 5. And I was extremely sick as well as my son and with everything going on I forgot to take my BC for over a week now and had unprotected sex with my husband several times and I was wondering if I should be worried and take my BC as normal now that I remembered. I’ve read articles saying not to and some others to take it but it can cause side effects for the baby if I did become pregnant. Help please I’m at a cross road and I don’t want to do something that may or may not cause problems to a healthy baby if I’m pregnant.
