Essential Oils that Can Be Used on Pregnant Women
Not every essential oil can be used in pregnant women as some could be too strong for the sensitive skin. Below are the oils that can be used on expectant mothers after the first three months:

• Lavender: This is anti-stress oil that can be used to release the stress and anxiety that results from pregnancy and helps in ensuring that premature contractions do not occur. Pregnant women should be massaged with lavender oils at least twice every week and it will make her calmer.
• Ginger: This essential oil helps in relieving mild nausea and will be quite useful for a pregnant woman after the first trimester. It will relieve an expectant mother from pains as it contains anti-inflammatory characteristics. If used in the right way in a professional spa, ginger oil will be beneficial to pregnant women.
• Ylang  Ylang: The oils aids in the relief of anxiety and mild depression and will elevate the mood of the pregnant woman. If a woman feels sad, or suffers from insomnia, you can use ylang yland essential oil to make her feel better and happier.
• Sweet orange: This is an essential oil that can help in making the pregnant woman feel re-energized and improve the mood. It will also help in relieving an expectant woman from nausea and indigestion. Massaging a pregnant woman twice every week will make her feel better.
• Grapefruit: This is a great oil that can be used for massaging a pregnant woman when she will be out in the sun during the day. It will also reduce the tired feeling and make her senses more heightened. The use of this oil should be moderate and in dilute form.

Always remember that a pregnant woman is very sensitive and what affects her will definitely affect her unborn child. You should, therefore, be very careful when massaging her and use the right oils to avoid causing complication which could even lead to loss of the pregnancy.
