Probably not, but...: There are no good studies that indicate a bad effect on human embryos or fetuses. Yet in extremely large doses (30+ times) there were effects in animals. So, prudence says to discontinue (as i guess you already know). But, truly, the odds are very low that there has been a harmful effect, so after stopping you should not worry.

Probably not: I recommend stopping latisse (bimatoprost). It has caused concerns in animal studies when used in exceptionally high doses. It has not been studied in humans during pregnancy, therefore, it's not recommended, particularly since its use is cosmetic only.
