I just use them in a diffuser mostly. There is an anxiety mix that i use often to relax. Love essential oils! But I do know that some can't be used on skin or ingested during pregnancy. Diffusing is fine tho.

A lot are unsafe for baby, not sure how you plan on using them and what. This is something you should discuss with your doctor
