BoTox is botulism toxin -- a very strong neurotoxin. Taken orally, it's lethal in humans. Applied in non-circulating areas under the skin, it can induce a flaccid paralysis (which is why wrinkles go away). The toxin shouldn't move from those spots, and if it doesn't you and the fetus might be okay. I have not been able to find a study referencing BoTox and pregnancy in humans, nor did I expect to, as any negative effect such a study might have would wind up in the courts so fast it hurts to think about. Studies with animals have had some undesirable results. I advise that you skip the botox until you stopped nursing.
