Used triamcinolone acetonide.1% before i realized i was pregnant. probably applied it 2-3x. is my baby at risk for defects? i am freaking out.im 6 wks

No: I don't think occasional use of topical triamcinolone would cause defects in the fetus. Certainly try to use good judgement and use it only as needed.

Probably not: it is a category C drug in pregnancy and only using it 2-3 times will most likely have no problems hopefully this will relieve your mind
