You have to stop testosterone if you're pregnant. Your baby will get secondary male characteristics if it is born "female bodied." Probably more but that's all I know.

Could perhaps lead to miscarriage. Who knows? Not advisable, in any case!

It could certainly have profound effects on the child.
My mother took DES, Diethylstilbestrol, when she was carrying me. This was commonly used from 1940 to 1971.
It had strong estrogenic effects.
Around 1/3 of the DES "sons" turned out to be transsexual. If a transman were carrying an XX chromosome child, it could be very problematic.
