I think it won't hurt your unborn baby. Lots of moms in childbearing yrs have kids who get pinkeye. The only problem I see is if you get pinkeye.
Some eye infections are not pinkeye. And usually antibiotic drops are prescribed by the doc.

You might catch it, but I don't think it would hurt the baby.
Ask your OB if you are concerned.
DAnica, my DH is a doctor, and I just read him your post. He says you have nothing to worry about, that the viruses and bacterial infections that cause pink eye do not cross the placenta.
