Feeling really nervous, help! I’ve been using topical hydroquinone 4% since before I found out I was pregnant. Now reading the label I realise that it’s not advised and a category C by the FDA - I’m 6 weeks pregnant and have obviously stopped now but really scared I might have caused serious harm to my baby.
Have any of you used this while pregnant and it turned out fine? Any other insights that can give me some peace of mind? 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
There isn’t a blood flow to the baby until about this time so very little can harm the baby prior to this time period. It’s starting now that things can impact the baby itself.
I know how you feel. I had some drinks not knowing I was preggo and freaked out to my OB and then she shared this fact which was the only thing to make me feel better.

I can’t speak to this specially but know that many people don’t find out they’re pregnant until this time period who aren’t trying so they engage in stuff that could be harmful. Most of the time everything is perfectly fine! Stay positive and talk to your practitioner
I’m sure you are absolutely fine. Tell your doc and I’m sure they will put your mind at ease.

You’re most likely fine
Agree that the risk is really low.
Most likely fine, talk to your doc if your nervous

You're most likely fine, but talk to your OB. Hearing a doc say you're fine or don't worry about it really helps you mentally.
