Epsom Salts

[daisystone]

Quick question for those of you in the know.

Is it safe to use Epsom Salts while pregnant - or indeed when breastfeeding. I am near the end - 39 weeks today and feel like a soak to ease my aching muscles.

I have read conflicting information. It seems to be considered OK but wondered if anyone else used them in their pregnanices?

Thanks.

I have used them throughout and added some lavender oil to a bath as well to help me relax. Has saved my aching joints many a night!! xxx
