I'm not sure on this one. I have a foot spa myself and I used it during the
pregnancy, particularly when my feet were really swollen. I suspect its not
so much the use of the foot spa itself, but the oils that come with them. My
particular machine had 4 oils, one being lavender and a peppermint, I can't
remember the others. These two in particular, it was advised not to use them
during pregnancy, due to the essential oil content.
