Here's from an Associated Press article...
"...and 1,995 women have gotten pregnant while using Accutane since it hit the market in 1982. Most of those pregnancies ended in abortion, but of the 383 babies born, 162 had birth defects. Copyright 2000 The Associated Press. All rights reserved."
Although birth defects rates are high, they are not inevitable. As you can see, 221 babies were born healthy! Contact your doctor ASAP and start your prenatal care.
God bless you in this hard time. :)
