Evening primrose oil or something similar

I have really dry skin and people have told me to take evening primrose oil. It is getting worse as the pregnancy gets further. I havent taken any form of skin supplement since I have been pregnant but I was wondering if I could take something? My skin is dry and I am worried taht teh dryness will make stretchmarks even worse as there wont be much elasticity in teh skin, but is it safe ot take? Or is there something similar I can take if it is not?
Thanks

I've heard of the cervix ripening (it's often used as a natural way to induce labour and isn't recommended for use during pregnancy) - and also raspberry leaf tea for cervix ripening - but I haven't heard of what to take for dry skin during pregnancy. Have you tried rubbing on something like lipobase repair or really heavy duty moisturisers? You could also change the soap you use in the bath/shower to one that has a high fat content or glycerin (sometimes soap can remove the sebum from your skin, making it drier still) - oh, and put moituriser on while your skin is still wet.

aaargh - five sites say it is safe and then another ten say it isn't. Refer back to my original post about moisturisers..and forget about the marshmallow root.

Try the Hemp moisturiser from the Body Shop, I used to have REALLY bad dry skin too, and it worked wonders.

I was taking EPO capsules orally when I fell pregnant and was assured by my midwife that they would be safe to keep taking. According to her it is inserting them vaginally that can ripen the cervix, so is not reccomended to do before 36 weeks.

Fish oil and omega 3 are good for mostly the same things too I think?
