I had 8 units botox at 11 weeks pregnant in the corner of my eyes. How harmful is this to my baby?

Asked By:NaturalGirl1000 in Pasadena, CA

I didn't even think of telling the doctor that I was pregnant as I don't get botox that often. I just do every 6 months or so. I went in and he did the crows feet. Everything seems normal. Then I was talking to a friend and she said that I'm not supposed to do botox when pregnant! I feel so careless! Are there any NEW STUDIES or observations about this? I am so concerned that the toxins will cause a problem in my baby. :(
