I'm 12+5 and I just had a massage from a family friend, she owed me a favour basically and insisted on doing it which was nice and everything, but she used lavender oil...like all over my body, for like half an hour. I couldn't say anything because I'm not telling the family yet (and there were other relatives around) and just kept thinking, as soon as this is over I'm scrubbing it all off. Least relaxing massage of my life. I've just been to the bathroom and washed it off as best I can, but obviously I've probably absorbed a fair amount already. Everything I've googled says to avoid lavender oil in the first trimester - well obviously I am JUST about going into my second trimester, and I had a late first tri miscarriage a few months ago. One website actually said avoid until 20 weeks.
Now I'm an absolute mess I'm so scared. Does anyone know anything more about this?
