Look, don't worry too much. Normal vaporub is fine to use on your forehead or throat when you have a cold. Just don't swallow it or use it excessively, and you will be absolutely fine.
Even though it is an over-the-counter product, I always feel it is best to check with your gynecologist first. Everyone's pregnancy is different, and a quick phone call to your doctor will give you complete peace of mind.
Applying a little vaporub is a much better option than taking unprescribed pills for a headache or cold. It is a simple, household remedy we have all used, just use a small amount at a time.
Yes, applying it externally on the throat or forehead is safe during pregnancy.
Haan, bilkul safe hai! I used it a lot during my winter pregnancy for blocked nose. Bas steam lete waqt thoda dhyan rakhna aur jyada mat lagana, normal use mein koi problem nahi hoti.

I just recovered from a nasty seasonal cold last week in my seventh month. I used Vicks on my chest and back every night to help me sleep, and my doctor said it is totally safe and much better than taking cough syrups.
Keep your mind calm and stress-free, dear. Using a little vaporub to soothe your cold is perfectly fine and will help you rest better, which is very important for the baby's health.
