Sure, why not? You may be a bit more sensitive to smells if you have morning sickness, but otherwise it should be perfectly fine.

Go for it! I wore it all the time. Try using it on ur clothes if the hormone change makes it smell different to what ur used to.

Of course you can x

It's perfectly fine. Just make sure to only use a little at first, because a smell you usually love might make you nauseous or give you a headache (which unfortunately happened with my fave).

I would never. It's one of my strictest rules. No perfume or scented body care products. Perfume or "fragrance" as listed in ingredients is notorious for, and almost always contains phthalates. Pthalates have been shown to be an endocrine disruptor that mimics estrogen in the body. Pthalates have been shown to cause penile deformations and even stunt fetal penile growth in newborns/fetuses. I'm not kidding. I learned that 6 years ago with my first pregnancy. It's all right here, and other scientific, credible websites too: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1280383/

I make a huge effort to not expose myself to ANY phthalates while pregnant. We plastics as often as possible, nothing I use on myself or laundry or cleaning uses fragrances that contain phthalates. It either has to be fragrance free or scented with essential oils only. If it has a fragrance not listed as essential oil, you can bet your buck it's full of phthalates. I don't want to be graphic, but compared to other little boys I have seen nude, I made an excellent choice not exposing myself to phthalate while pregnant. one nurse said after my first was born "wow. He's really uh "got it going on" haha another article: http://www.medicaldaily.com/phthalates-exposure-during-pregnancy-may-disrupt-male-genitals-development-324544
