lavender oil

[kim2222]

Hi everyone,
this is my first time on mum's net. I am 21 weeks pregnant and spilled undiluted lavender oil all over my hands and table yesterday by accident. I am panicking slightly because I have read you shouldn't use it undiluted. Looking for reassurance that this will not affect my pregnancy.

People get pregnant on crack while living on the street. You'll be fine

As long as you washed it off after it is very unlikely to be of any problem. I use lavender oil in a diffuser a few times a week and sometimes a little bit gets on my fingers but it's nothing to stress over!

I got obsessed with the smell last pregnancy and was inhaling the stuff in hot water... Midwife didn't see any issues with it and baby is fine

This pregnancy I've just been using it in the bath and again, fine

Thank you for the reassurance. There is so much scary stuff you read on the internet
