Been using olbas oil now worrying

[GreyPanther]

I’m 10 weeks pregnant and have been using olbas oil and vicks as I’ve had a terrible cold and stupidly it didn’t occur to me that I shouldn’t be using these. I’ve been putting quite a few drops of olbas oil in a mister thingy and vicks on my chest and forehead. Has anyone else used these when pregnant and been fine?! I’ve had such a tough time sleeping recently I just didn’t think 🤦🏽‍♀️

I’m speaking to my midwife tomorrow so will ask her then but I’ve been using it quite a lot and dr google tells me that it might reduce the blood flow to the placenta

Please don’t worry, the advice around these things in pregnancy is purely precautionary.
You are very unlikely to have done any harm.
Speak to your midwife but please don’t worry

I used the olbas oil inhaler and vicks vaporub as I was told it was safe in pregnancy.

Thank you @Oly4 and @Oneandabean! I spoke to the midwife yesterday and she was very reassuring and said it was fine. Phew!
