Can I use essential oils during pregnancy?

Question

Hi, I am probably 4 weeks pregnant. I read about it and it says that essential oils are to be careful with. In what sense exactly? Do I have to look at the ingredients of all my cosmetics? Are my Airwicks in the bathroom harmful if they contain essential oils? Is it only if I consume it and put it directly on my body?
