During pregnancy? Second trimester...u know the calming ones that u get at supermarkets. I'm really worried because when I was a child in school I remember a teacher saying someone had a miscarriage due to lavender oil or something....have any of u used lavender based products in pregnancy?

I think there are certain essential oils you should avoid but I'd imagine some lavender imperial leather would be absolutely fine.

Lavender is fine, with my first, my midwife said lavender can be used safely as it’s calming.
Shower gels are fine as they don’t contain high enough levels to cause problems. I can’t see lavender causing mc.
The only thing I know you need to avoid is clary sage

You'll be absolutely fine, op.
