Diluted, external use is usually fine. Patch test first and ask doc if unsure.

I am always a little careful with essential oils so I wont overclaim. For external diluted use it is mostly considered gentle, but I would rather confirm with the doctor than guess. Better to be safe with these things.

Mild rose oil for skin in a diluted form is usually okay for most, but everyone reacts differently. Do a small patch test first. If you have sensitive skin or any doubt, check with your gynac before regular use.

For skin use, diluted rose oil is generally considered gentle, but essential oils are a grey area in pregnancy. I kept mine only for external use and avoided anything strong. Safest is to run it by your doctor, especially the first trimester.

I used rose water more than the actual oil, felt safer. If you do use the oil, always dilute it well and just on skin, never internally. For pure essential oils I would honestly ask the doctor once to be sure.
