Brief Answer:
You can use it.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
Congratulations on your pregnancy!
Hair loss is common after delivery but during pregnancy if you are having hair loss it can be due to mineral and vitamin deficiency.
Hormonal imbalance, iron deficiency, stress, lack of sleep can also cause hair loss.
As such oil treatment is nothing to do with hair loss but if you want to use you can use it.
It is safe during pregnancy.
Usually during pregnancy there is excess of vaginal fluids to lubricate vagina and there is no need of lubricant.
But if you are feeling dryness you can use water based lubricant ( astroglide).perfumes and oil based products should be avoided.
Usually sex is not prohibited during pregnancy but extra stimulation and rough sex should be avoided.
Hope it is useful, feel free to ask more questions.
Good luck.
Regards

Brief Answer:
You can use KY- jelly.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
You are most welcome and thanks for your appreciation.
You can use KY-jelly for sexual arousal.
As such you can use any lubricant which is water based because cervical opening is too tight and it will not affect your fetus.
So you can use them without stress.
Hope it is useful.
Good luck.
