Hi, anyone use medicated oil during pregnancy? I used almost everyday, due to headache, leg cramp and stomach cramp...

Is it safe to use during pregnancy?

Hi Orionbabee79, I'm like you.. used a lot during my first tri... but i'm using Siang Pure Oil... nw also in 2nd tri.. still using because of migraine or leg cramp... less on stomach...
Do you think it is safe?

I use it more during my 1st trimester... on stomach.. but i will make sure I am applying more to the top (juz below breast area) rather than womb area where baby is....

I had terrible migraines when I was pregnant so I was constantly rubbing Axe oil and Tiger balm on my head.

It's ok to use medicated oil. Just don't consume it of course.

I read one of the thread in Singapore motherhood that stated cannot use medicated oil during pregnancy....

That's why I posted this thread.... Anyway, thanks you all for your replies...

I think medicated oil is fine..
I'm also using it..

In fact, before i am preg, i hate the smell of medicated oil...
Now when preg.. The smell of medicated oil makes me feel better in fact.. And i also apply for my aches etc..

I tik is ok to use medicated oil but would be better not to use tiger balm or those cream that we apply when muscles ache cos they may contain chemicals that may be harmful..

Hmmm... I jus realise the axe brand oil contain a chemical called methyl salicylate which is harmful to baby.. Have been applying tat for the past months.. Does it matter or should I stop using..?
