Certainly, during pregnancy, it's advisable to be cautious with essential oil use and choose oils that are generally considered safe for pregnant women.
Some of Young Living’s products are well loved and well tolerated by pregnant and lactating women. Here are a few essential oils that are often considered safe during pregnancy:
Mild essential oils such as Lavender, Grapefruit, Lemon, and Orange may be used topically or diffused during pregnancy.
Frankincense, a favorite oil among EO enthusiasts, can be used once a day as long as it is diluted properly—one drop of Frankincense to one teaspoon of carrier oil or lotion
Try to stick to using oils that are familiar and fresh. I like Citrus Fresh™, which contains citrus oils plus peppermint, and therefore is very multi purpose
