    Question Peppermint Oil Shampoo....okay in third trimester?

    Okay, so I bought some John Frieda Shampoo that has Peppermint and Eucalyptus Oil in it...(although I doubt it has much of either in it really ). I then remembered something about no Peppermint Oil in pregnancy..

    Do you think this okay?
    According to Google this is highly debatable, and more so in early pregnancy as it can stimulate contractions.....I am on the way to 35 weeks...I wouldn't mind some contractions in about 2 weeks anway especially considering my GP is going to start S&S once a week at 37 weeks due to this being a big bubba again!
    I only wash my hair twice a week, and am figuring that the water is going to dilute it more than it already is diluted anyway.

    Any thoughts?

    I'm with you, I doubt it has much of either in it, and what IS in it will be diluted. I think the recommendations re oils are for things like aromatherapy treatments etc . I'd use it, but then, that's me!!
