CASTOR OIL

My mom bought me castor oil and i’m 9 weeks pregnant. She’s a nurse so I thought I could trust her. But I went to search online and found negative feedback. However, just to be on a safer side, to ask my fellow mummies here, IS IT OK TO APPLY CASTOR OIL ON MY BELLY?????? TO AVOID STRETCH MARKS????? Thanks!!! #Urgent!!!!! #help1sttimemompls #helpamumout #help

How about just using stretch mark creams/bio oil instead? If in doubt, best to avoid.

So I’m like… 🥲🫨🤯 I didn’t want to waste her money and effort but like… uh. Maybe I’ll just not use it. Huhu or I’ll ask my OB this week.
