Yes! My favorite essential oil to add to bath water is lavendar or chamomile. Sometimes you can get a bubble bath or bath salts that have both. They are not only relaxants but promote peaceful sleep.
Regarding what the other answerers said, you CAN take a bath when pregnant. Just make sure the water is under 100 degrees, basically close to your body temperature.
How do you tell? If you have to slowly "ease" your foot into the water before you get in, then the water is too hot.
The cervix is closed, by the way, so nothing in the water can harm your baby.

Baths are just fine while you are pregnant as long as it's not too hot, and it's not too often. They help me relax a lot, especially if I have had a stressful day. Bubble baths aren't recommended because of the risk of a vaginal infection, but I did once (I know shame on me :P ). But everything is just fine so go ahead!

I think just having a BB will be relaxing enough on it's own. I do have a bottle of some baby eucelyptis product for the bath which is calming for babies. In otherwords if you buy it now you can still use it for when you bath your baby.
Try goinng for a pregnancy massage they are great for your aching body too.

My midwives recommended warm baths to me for relaxing my muscles. They said as long as your internal temperature is not raised you are okay. I have been using lush bath bombs when I am feeling really bad. The butterball is especially great because it moisturizes as well, so you come out of the tub all soft and relaxed. Oh I think I will go have a bath now......

You are not supposed to take a bath while pregnant unless it is a lukewarm bath. If you overheat from the bath, you can cool down, but the baby can't which puts the baby in distress.

Not supposed to take a bath while pregnant....showers only. Go for a massage or to a chiroprator for an adjustment....was the best thing I did while pregnant. :) Good luck

Sorry baths are bad in pregnancy... So are hot tubs. It overheats the fluids around the baby

they say you shouldn't take a bath because the dirty water will get in to ur insides and possibly to the placenta and cause infection

i don't think so. i would have heard of something by now.
you could check the internet to see of any thing. and if there is something it's more than likely expensive.
but if there is nothing relax.
