Hi Jodie B Davis,
Rare side effects of aromatherapy can include allergic reaction including rash, headache, liver and nerve damage, as well as harm to the fetus (this is why aromatherapy should be avoided during pregnancy unless specifically instructed by an expert).
Essential oils get into the bloodstream, so you don't know how much of it gets to the baby. It's best to lean on the conservative side and simply not use any essential oils during the first trimester.
If you have big side reaction of essential oils, I would recommend a thorough examination by your doctor. In any event Jodie, you needed to quiet down, most likely your awe
a exaggerated.
