Hi.
Atripla belongs to pregnancy category D classified by the FDA, meaning that the medication does hold some side effects during pregnancy, but is nothing serious enough and also not much thought needs to be out in by the doctor before prescribing or continuing the medication during pregnancy. So I dont think there should be an impact of the drug on your unborn baby, but please do report to a doctor who will guide and supervise your pregnancy.
Best wishes.
