You may receive: varying input to this question. Essential oils can be quite potent and should always be diluted. I would err on the side of caution by not using any unnecessary chemicals while pregnant.

Hard to say. : By definition, "alternative" is different than modern western medicine. Generally any drug, herb, treatment, or oil that stands up to rigorous scientific scrutiny is included in modern medicine. Many alternative practices, oils etc do not stand up to scientific scrutiny and cannot be shown to work. 'Further, mo one knows if they are safe. $$$. Check https://nccih.nih.gov/ for research
