    Mint and other scents during pregnancy

    I got a spa with mint scented foot scrubs etc and just wondering if these are safe to use during pregnancy?

    Id like to also know which scents to avoid during pregnancy too.

    Is it just aromatherapy oils applied directly to the skin that need to be avoided or any oils that come in contact with my skin? Cos my mouthwash is mint flavoured too ...

    What's safe?

    Mint is fine.

    There are some oils that should be avoided in pregnancy, and avoided all together in general, googling essential oils in pregnancy should give you lots of information, but generally the oils most people use in their daily lives are fine during pregnancy and birth.

    Cool thanks DP was just saying to me 'well you can't use the mouthwash because its mint' ...

    There are so many things you 'shouldnt' do or 'cant' do while your pregnant, it makes me question everything!
