Lavender oil in first trimester

[Mumsie4281]

I am 6w2d. I ran a bath tonight and put in lavender Epsom salts. I was in for about 5 minutes when I randomly thought to check the safety of lavender during pregnancy and now I am worrying myself to death. I got right out so I was only in less than 10 minutes.. any reassurance that babe will be ok? I’m stressing

I practically bathed in the stuff in both of my pregnancies. You and baby will be fine, I read books / websites that recommended it for relaxation. When you are in the bath it will be super diluted too x

You’ll be fine! I’ve been spraying something with lavender pillow every night to help me to sleep and I’m 32 weeks and baby is kicking away!

The reason it's recommended against is that there's a very slight risk it can cause contractions, so if that hasn't happened there's nothing to worry about x

Thank you everyone!
