I am 8 weeks pregnant and had Botox 12 weeks ago, I did not know I was pregnant. Is this harmful to my baby?

The fact is that botox has not been studies in pregnancy but likely will not harm your baby.  Please follow closely with your ob during the course of the pregnancy and avoid any cosmetic procedures at this time.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question. There are no studies to confirm that Botox will or will not harm your baby. That being said, this is an extremely common concern. Many women have had Botox without knowing they were pregnant. Hope this helped, 

Thank you for your question and congratulations on your pregnancy!  Though no studies have been done assessing this scenario, many women have become pregnant while their Botox was still active with no ill effects to the baby.  I would inform your ob/gyn that this has occurred but no increased monitoring will be needed.  Hope this helps.

While Botox is generally not recommended during and after pregnancy, there is no evidence that Botox treatments prior to pregnancy have any negative effect on the mother or the new baby. You were not pregnant when you got your Botox treatment.At the same time, please infirm you pregnancy doctors so that they are aware and able to consul you further.Best regards and I hope that help, Dr. Sapijaszko

Congratulations on your pregnancy. Since you received the Botox injections prior to conception, no harm will come to your baby. Even if you had Botox injected while pregnant the risks are very low. Inform your obstetrician of your concerns.Good luck,
