I got 40 units of Botox during 9-10 weeks pregnancy. Will this harm my baby?

Asked By:kim han in Elk Grove, CA

I got Botox one week ago. 40 units in my jaw.  I didn't realize just now I got pregnant, 9-10 weeks currently. I sometime skip my period so I wasn't expecting that I'm pregnant. I was worried and read other question about getting Botox in early stage of pregnancy, but I'm in 9-10 weeks and found out it is a very important period for baby. How does botox harm the baby or will it be okay?
