I had 50 units of Botox for my jaw(25 units each side), then had to go back 2 weeks later for another 50 units, for a total of 100 units. I wasn't expecting to be pregnant but missed my period and turns out I am pregnant...I would've been 3 weeks and 5 weeks the two times I had Botox. I am terrified as I read a report about Botox causing blindness/deafness. What can I do? Should I be worried? I also read cosmetic doses should be fine but is 100units considered a cosmetic dose??
