I suggest looking at some certified sites before using anymore. Here are two I know of. They seem to be rather knowledgable. http://www.naturalchildbirth.co.uk/aromatherapy.shtml http://www.earthyfamily.com/arom-caution.htm http://www.babydirectory.com/cgi-bin/showPreg.pl?AROMATHERAPY The person before me mentioned peppermint oil. I don't think it's a good idea to do so. Peppermint oil is a blood thinner and can also affect menstruation, and that could be dangerous.

Peppermint and Lavendar are fine, just be sure you use them carefully and diluted in a carrier (ike olive, jojoba, almond oil). Oh and make sure you get a high quality lavender! I've gotten fake lavendar labeled as essential oil before. Chekc the links below. The last one has some recipes. Good luck!

I have a few books regarding the use of essential oils and they strongly advise you not to use peppermint oil while pregnant.
