According to the National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy, "chamomile oils, geranium, jasmine, lavender, neroli, patchouli, sandalwood, and ylang ylang" essential oils are safe to use during pregnancy. If you're pregnant and want to use aromatherapy, the site advises that you wait until after the first trimester.
In my opinion, only trust aromatherapy advice from licensed holistic practitioners and web sites ending in .org. Businesses have too much to gain by giving false or inaccurate information.

What does IMO mean? How is aromatherapy used? I thought it only meant essential oils that are in lotions, candles etc.
Funny how most of the essential oils you listed are known aphrodisiacs - how appropriate, seeing those are at the origins of baby-making, after all!
Looking forward to reading your new blog,

No, I'm not pregnant.
