Natural Standard, The Authority on Integrative Medicine answered:

Lavender is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to a lack of scientific evidence proving its safety. However, lavender has historically been used in pregnancy and breastfeeding with a lack of reported side effects.
You should read product labels, and discuss all therapies with a qualified healthcare provider. Natural Standard information does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
