I dunno if they're unsafe but I didn't use anything in the bath while pregnant in case I got thrush.

Yes they are fine.

There's a couple that aren't safe, when you go into Lush, mention that you're pregnant and they should tell you the ones to avoid. I forget which one, but it apparently is similar to a muscle relaxant (or something like that). They'll recommend one that's really good for aching backs, feet, etc.. At the least the Lush near me did!

They used to do one with an oil that is supposed to trigger labour so I'd echo what Amd724 said.

Saying that I tipped practically a whole bottle of the stuff into the bath in an attempt to evict a very overdue DS and it didn't work...

Yeah ask in store. There are essential oils you need to avoid like clary sage. I didnt bother with lush bath products in the end even though i love them because i couldn't be faffed trying to work out whats OK (not very relaxing bath when your worried!!) But i am abit wimpy. I brought cussons mum and me bubble bath instead. Ds due next week and needless to say i will be having a bath soon after......

@mummabubs you just saved me from a having a bit a melt down! Have used lush bath bombs during my pregnancy and it didn't even cross my mind they wouldn't be safe Blush

mummabubs · 14/09/2017 22:13

@Lemonicelolly1 no worries 😊 I've also been using them every now and then throughout pregnancy as well as their pregnancy massage bar, gotta have a bit of pampering during the glamour that is pregnancy! X

They are all natural and handmade, I don't see them being a problem unless you're allergic/can't currently stand the smell of any ingredients x

I loved my bath bomb baths when I was pregnant, nice and relaxingGrin

I love my bath bombs but they gave me horrendous thrush when I was pregnant
