Lavender Scented Deodorant while Preg. or Nursing?

[Tmama]

I just read (briefly) that lavender should be avoided in the first tri but some say to avoid it altogether.  I have been using Toms of Maine Lavender scented deodorant for a while now...is that still okay?

I've been thinking about trying the Kiss my Face Lavender deodorant (the bar not the liquid).  Anything I need to know before I purchase since I'm due in 3 weeks and will be extended breastfeeding for some time...

Thanks!

I don't know about deodorants, but my midwife handed out samples of lavender bath oil at my yoga class, and I doubt she would have done that if lavender were in any way dangerous. I had never heard of lavender deo before--I will have to try it! :-)

It's just Toms of Maine lavender scented deodorant.  I love the lavender scent but read that it's better to be safe to lay off bath products that contain lavender oil while pregnant/nursing for some reason.  Oh well...it's always something!
