Several of my friends have recommended Bio Oil as a stretch mark prevention. I noticed it does have vitamin A and lavender oil in the ingredients which I remember reading are harmful to take as supplements when pregnant. Does it matter when they're topical? I know that people who are prone to getting stretch marks will get them anyway but I bet if I used it I'd get fewer or they'd be less noticeable. I'm already starting to get a few on my love handles.

Has anyone been told not to use Bio Oil? I know my GP would say it's fine but he doesn't get fussed about much at all.
