using pure lanolin during pregnancy

[dex_millie]

I am using a few different oils and creams during pregnancy and wondering if there are anytype of lotion or oils we cannot use externally during pregnancy?

For instance I use.. Pure lanolin, shea butter cream by husband made(with a little castor oil, olive oil, african herbal oil) and coconut oil I wonder if I can use castor oil to externally on my belly right now I just use it on my legs.

I think my main concern is can I use pure lanolin or castor oil externally on my belly.

Thanks

Lansinoh says you can use it during pregnancy. I'm not sure about castor oil though.

I asked my midwife about castor oil on the belly and she said probably not since it can be used on the skin (rather than drinking it) to start labor.

Yeah, probably nix the castor oil...but lanolin is often recommended. I use my lanolin for everything

i wouldn't do castor oil, but lanolin is definitely just fine
