Is lavender safe

[topsec]

I'm 15 weeks pregnant and seem to think I've seen something somewhere about lavender being risky in pregnancy.
Is this just aromatherapy oils etc?? Is it safe to use radox lavender bubble bath etc???

According to this site, lavender is ok to use in moderation. I'm 31 wks and have been using radox.

If you are unsure, talk to your health visitor or midwife.

Hi. I was told to avoid Lavender until late pregnancy. I believe it has properties which can stimulate the uterus, I suppose it depends whether you believe in aromatherapy/homeopathy.

Good luck x
