Botox when early days pregnant

[Youzanne201]

Hi all,

So I have a 13 month old son and until recently was exclusively breastfeeding. I did have sex without protection when I was breastfeeding but didn't think much of it since chances of conception are low (and we wouldn't mind if I got pregnant anyway)

I've wanted Botox for a while now and decided to get it when I'd finished breastfeeding. I got it in 3 places as soon as I'd finished.

Anyway, it's two weeks later and I keep feeling nauseous. It's just struck me that my periods haven't returned (like I said I was breastfeeding until a month ago though) and I should maybe take a pregnancy test.

I'm terrified that if I am pregnant that a) I went on a night out last weekend and got VERY drunk and b) I've obviously now had Botox also. Does anyone know anything about how this can effect a baby in early pregnancy? Or is it unlikely to? I'll get a test today as may be freaking out unnecessarily but any thoughts meantime would be appreciated xxx

Botox won't have impacted your unborn child and you won't be sharing a blood supply at such an early gestation so alcohol will very unlikely have done anything either.
The risk with Botox is how your body will react to it based on your altered hormone levels in pregnancy. It won't migrate or effect baby in any way, just some people have had/could have had a different reaction compared to when they aren't pregnant

Thank you @SenoraSurf, you have no idea how much this has eased my anxiety!

I had a huge night out a few days before taking a test and got really drunk and had also had my eye brows microbladed! Oh and had a tattoo 🙈 I was panicking so much! I’m now 16+6! I obviously haven’t drank since and haven’t had my top up eye brow appointments but will do when I’m up to it! I think you will be fine if you are! Let us know the outcome of the test @Youzanne201xx
