I've done something incredibly stupid :-( help!

I am a fairly new henna artist and yesterday I mixed a batch of henna powder with some water and eucalyptus oil. I was so impressed with what I made that I decided to apply it on myself..only to find out eucalyptus oil shouldn't be used in pregnancy. I am so scared right now. I called my obgyn who wasn't in the office so I couldn't even speak to her directly. Her secretary called her and asked and all she said was not to use it. The problem is I already used it yesterday! I am hoping for some support..I am worried I may have harmed the baby

Hey calm down I don't think one usage will hurt ur baby. People do much worse before they know they pregnant...as an example I myself took class a drugs at 6 weeks pregnant as I didn't know...he's fine!!!! Just don't do it again! And really... don't panic...most problems are from prolonged use of a harmful substance...xx

Thank you..

I can't believe I didn't read up into it properly. I'll just refrain from using it ever again. I used around 4 tablespoons in the entire batch of henna, of that I probably got 0.25 of it on my skin so I really hope it's not going to do anything drastically bad.

Try not to worry hun it wasn't a great deal of the stuff so doubt it's done any harm! Xxx

My docs always says not to worry about what we have already done as it can't be changed. Usually everything works out fine. Just to be safe, I was told to stay away from henna as a whole, but I know many pregnant women that have used it throughout and all is fine!
