Tretinoin use by pregnant women has not been extensively or adequately studied. Given its lack of a proven track record for safety in pregnant women, advised not to use. The fda has designated hydroquinone a pregnancy category c substance, meaning that reproductive studies done on animals have shown to have adverse side effects on the fetus, but that there is a lack of well controlled studies in the human population.

Well it's not advisable to use it as it mixed in blood stream and can passed to foetus.
