34wks pregnant is it safe to use vicks vaporub inhaler in steam? hubby was using it in a humidifier and i could smell it from a couple of feet away?

No need: There is no need for this. It’s not safe to use. Vick’s can trigger asthma in those at risk. That said, getting a slight whiff of it from another room is not of significant concern. I hope this helps. Best of luck!

Mgt.: The humidifier can be used with distilled water. It should be safe though, but please also check with your OB GYN.
