[F]ar, it is not known what effect Retin-A will have on pregnant women, or those nursing. Retin-A is classified as a Class C drug for pregnancy. That means that the risks of taking it during pregnancy should be outweighed by the benefits. The Classes range from A (no restrictions) to B, C, D, and X (absolutely prohibited). While the oral form, Accutane, is extremely harmful in pregnancy (it is an X), nothing similar has been found for Retin-A.
