Well, lavender is pretty mild, but the general consensus amongst the soap and toiletry makers that I know, tends to be to avoid all EO's.

Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere (please see this rule (http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?p=1009335#post1009335)) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies.

Some practitioners say you shouldn't use any oils when pregnant others say different. I really would get proffesional advice. Even lavender is a dueretic (sp) and I know that was the last thing I wanted when I was pregnant:)
