My belly skin is getting really tight and itchy now in 6th month and someone gifted me bio oil. Before i start using it daily i wanted to ask if its actually ok during pregnancy? Dont want to put anything on my bump that could harm baby. anyone used it?
Most gynacs say topical oils like this are fine in pregnancy yaar. But if u have very sensitive skin or any rash, better confirm with your doc once. Better safe.
I used it through both my pregnancies, mostly on belly and hips. It didnt stop stretch marks fully but skin felt less itchy and dry. Just patch test once on arm and you are good.
I started bio oil from 5th month and continued even after my section. On the scar itself I waited till stitches fully healed and asked doc first. It felt nice and soft honestly.
