Hydroquinone and Pregnancy
Thank you for your question. Hydroquinone is a Category C which is not recommended to use while you are pregnant. It depends on how many times you have used the cream and in which areas. Hydroquinone is topical which means there usually is little systemic absorption that could affect your baby. Stop the hydroquinone ASAP and if you are still concerned discuss it with your Ob/Gyn. I hope this helps.

Don't worry
Using Hydroquinone topically for two weeks will not effect your baby, stop using product until after delivery since there are no studies shown that it is safe or unsafe.

Hydroquinone and Pregnancy
You will be just fine. Don't use the hydroquinone anymore until post pregnancy and breast feeding, but one dosage especially this early on won't hurt you or the baby.
