 Hello,
This happens quite frequently and while we try to avoid such things when we are aware of pregnancy, we aren't perfect on this and sometimes pregnancy cannot be detected prior to a procedure. But, because it does happen quite often, we are able to feel quite confident that there would not be any serious results for the baby. Keep in mind that there is about a 3% risk of birth defects in ANY pregnancy - even under the best conditions, but I would not expect this one procedure to increase your risk beyond the normal.
Best wishes.
