I used the ointments during pregnancy (the red/gold and blue/gold tins).
But would agree that anything taken orally is probably not a good idea.]]> Tue, 25 Nov 2008 18:50:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22723&PID=552481&title=rawleighs-safe-during-pregnancy#552481 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22723&PID=552319&title=rawleighs-safe-during-pregnancy#552319 Author: sweetpea

lavender should be OK but i like the others have clove sitting in the back of my head saying a rather large NO no idea why though. I must have read it somewhere. I'd check with someone in the know does rawleighs have an 0800 number or simialr way to contact them?]]> Tue, 25 Nov 2008 15:30:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22723&PID=552319&title=rawleighs-safe-during-pregnancy#552319 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22723&PID=552174&title=rawleighs-safe-during-pregnancy#552174 Author: Nefertiti

Ermmm I think you'd have more problems if it was ingested . Lotions on the skin are only partially absorbed as your sweat glands would probably cause most of it to be evapourated. I used lavendar oil every once and a while during pregnancy and all was well.]]> Tue, 25 Nov 2008 13:06:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22723&PID=552156&title=rawleighs-safe-during-pregnancy#552156 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22723&PID=552112&title=rawleighs-safe-during-pregnancy#552112 Author: Mrs_B

eek I just googled the individual ingredients (didn't think of doing that - duh pregnancy brain!) and all of them are contraindicated during pregnancy Lovely Nana put some on my wrist so I could smell it! I've have just scrubbed the skin red trying to get if off.

Someting in the back of my head tells me clove oil is contraindicated during pregnancy - only for use in labour? Lavender oil I'm pretty sure is OK in really small doses, and I have no idea about wintergreen. But like I said you might want to check with a naturopath or similar. ]]> Tue, 25 Nov 2008 12:04:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22723&PID=552099&title=rawleighs-safe-during-pregnancy#552099 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22723&PID=552095&title=rawleighs-safe-during-pregnancy#552095 Author: Mrs_B

Mind you I just googled it and think you might want to check with a naturopath about some of the items...

DH's lovely Nana sells Rawleighs and has stocked me up with all sort of lotions and potions for the aches and pains of pregnancy. I have no idea if it is safe to use though and didn't want to hurt her feelings by asking! Any ideas??
