Tea tree oil and pregnancy?

Question

So my skin broke out again recently and nothing is combating it, so I put some drops of tea tree oil on a cotton ball and rubbed it on the affected area but then I went on the internet remembering I saw something months ago about it not been pregnancy safe. About it causing early contractions or something? I've got myself in a tizz worrying about my baby now and washed it all off in a haste. What do you ladies think? Have you used it and its fine? Or stay away? I'm 10 weeks pregnant?

Answer

I’ve used tea tree oil on my face throughout my pregnancy never heard anything bad about it

Answer

It’s more if you use it a lot, just try avoiding it but some oils are good maybe look up a safe replacement for it x

Answer

I use essential oils. I think you’d have to use a very extreme amount for it to do anything honestly. I made a mixture with tea tree in it for my hemorrhoids when I was around 37 weeks- didn’t cause contractions. I also used my clary calm roller everyday my whole pregnancy and supposedly clary sage causes contractions too- did not do that for me. Of course I’m not a dr so if you are concerned call your dr and ask for reassurance 😊
