What to do? Botox while pregnant!

I got botox last week (bridge between nose, 20 units) and found out this morning that I'm pregnant. Im guessing I'm about 6 weeks. Is there anyway to remove it? Anything that I should do? Has anyone had a healthy baby after botox? I'm so scared

Do not worry. You and your baby are safe. I confirmed this with Allergan
(maker of Botox). You had it so early on and such a small amount that you
and the baby should be fine from the Botox. Just do not have another
treatment until after the birth of your baby.

There are no studies to indicate that Botox will
harm your baby nor does the product normally travel in the body in a way
that it would reach the fetus. We would not suggest any more cosmetic
treatments until you have finished breastfeeding.
