Can artificially scented or essential oil candles be harmful if I am 23 weeks pregnant?

It is generally safe to use scented candles, whether artificial or made with essential oils, during pregnancy as long as they are used in a well-ventilated area and according to the manufacturer's instructions. When it comes to diffusing essential oils, some safe options during pregnancy include chamomile, lavender, tangerine, and grapefruit. It is recommended to keep the room where the diffuser is placed well ventilated.
