Bio Oil

[Beach Mama]

I used it all through my pg as well, and didn't get one stretch mark during the pg, I did get a few afterwards but am still using it now and they are fading as well. I also occasionally use it on my face and find that it is great. As far as the vit A goes it is an intake of excessive amounts that need to be avoided - particularly suppliments.

Thanks girls! I have been using it once a day for the last week or two and I really like it but I was just wondering about the Vitamin A thing. I used some massage oil & creme last pregnancy (from Pumpkin Patch, I can't remember the brand of the stuff) and ended up getting stretch marks just a couple of weeks before DS was born! Grrr!!! I think I'll keep using the Bio Oil for now and ask my OBS when I see him in 2 weeks time unless I find something bad out about it before then...

Seriously, what don't people say is bad for you through your pregnancy? It's neverending.

I looked at the Bio Oil for my appendix scar (big cut on belly due to being 18 weeks preg at the time) but wasn't sure on the Vitamin A bit either so instead I picked up some Palmers Scar Serum and have worked that into my appendix scar and it has worked a treat even though my scar was stretching as my belly has been growing. As an all over belly/body cream I have just been using a sorbolene with vitamin E and haven't got any stretchmarks yet.
