Pregnancy - while I was using Retin-A cream, I got pregnant. Can my baby has birth defects?

Retin A has the FDA recommended pregnancy catergory C.
Category C means...
"Animal reproduction studies have shown an adverse effect on the fetus
and there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in humans, but
potential benefits may warrant use of the drug in pregnant women
despite potential risks."

From http://www.drugs.com/pro/retin-a.html
There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Retin-A Micro should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
