Botox one month before conception. Is my baby at harm?

GA1981
I received botox around 8 weeks ago, and just found out I am now pregnant. Conception did occur after I received the botox. However, I know the effect of botox typically lasts 3 -4 months. Is my baby at harm? I cannot seem to find evidence on how the toxin exits the body exactly, and when. Please help!
