Many things are all but unstudied. Doctors say "oh that's ok" when they have not seen an actual study saying "for the love of G-d avoid this!" but that does not mean things are safe. I wouldn't do it. Peppermint is something we use in swaying to reduce estrogen levels and since the study above has shown that lavender oil and tea tree oil are actively messing up hormones, I have to suggest against using them during pregnancy.
Hope you're feeling better soon!!!
