I had a botox treatment without knowing I was one week pregnant. I am extremely nervous as I just found out this morning that I am pregnant. I can't find any real-life stories on this, but everything I have read is pretty terrible. Thoughts?

Answer: Botox and pregnancy
As you know, Botox is not recommended when someone is pregnant or nursing. There are no studies showing that it causes harm to a fetus, but logic dictates it be avoided. Your scenario has occurred many times in other women and no adverse affects have been reported. Let your OB know and they'll monitor the situation.

Answer: Botox while pregnant
Botox is not recommended for pregnant patients because there are not enough human studies to assess the risks. This means it has not been evaluated to be safe or harmful to the fetus. It is common for people to have treatment before knowing they are pregnant. I would discuss with your OB but I would not worry. I hope this helps.
Kindest regards
