If you are concerned please read the reports about cosmetics and pregnancy at the "cosmetics database" See link

You should consider removing all exposure to petrochemicals during pregnancy and should always exercise caution when using petroleum based products on or in your body. Never use petrolatum or mineral oil on babies.

One of the major concerns is that there is no way of determining how many PAHs, or polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are contained in petrolatum. PAHs are potent pollutants and have been identified as carcinogenic, mutagenic and teratogenic.

Petrolatum is listed as a probable human carcinogen in the European Union's Dangerous Substances Directive. As a barrier product it performs well, it's great for putting around your hair line to protect your skin from hair dye, but that's where it's redeeming qualities end. There are far safer products available, such as Shea butter, which is great for helping to prevent stretch marks too.

Answer:

Vaseline is perfectly safe to use when pregnant and not. On children as well.

I'm not sure if the cause is eating a spoonful of petroleum jelly, but it just happened that I got diarrhea after eating it.

I would recommend that you use a water based lubricant with no special affects or scents.
