Essential Oils during pregnancy?

[delphmoon]

When I was in labor my sister went and bought lavender oil and massaged me with it. It wasn't til after DD was born that we read the bottle and it said don't use in pregnancy

I agree with what Samara said- better to be safe than sorry

Maybe consult a qualified aromatherapist? - they woudl be able to tell you.
The aromtherapist I saw said spearmint, peppermint, lavendar, bergamot - can all be good to use during labour.
Ylang ylang has a blood pressure lowering effect apparently, so should be used wtih caution in ppl who already have low BP.
