Opinions on essential oils when pregnant

[Britt19891]

Hello All,

I am 7w 2d pregnant with my first :) I read somewhere that smelling lemon oil (essential oil) is good for nausea. It provides a good calm to the nervous system. However I have also been reading today that some arent good but to be on the safe side, just avoid them all.

I just want to know all of your opinions, should I, should I not? What advice or past experience can you share with me?

Thx, much appreciated.

That sounds like a better idea. I will just have to stomach it cause right now I am extremely sensitive to sour things, my gag reflexs are horrible. :( This morning sickness is horrid!

Instead of smelling lemon oil....try eating a wedge of a lemon instead. It helps the acidity in your stomach and lessens the nausea of morning sickness. I have done this, andit has worked WONDERS! It also helps for heartburn!
