18 weeks pregnant can I use olbas oil

[jadey1991]

Hi all
There probably a thread about this but as stated above can I use it.

I have a terrible blocked nose as I've caught a cold.

Olbas oil website states you should consult a doctor before use.

@PickledScrump thank you

I used it when pregnant. Didn't drown myself but defo had a sniff when I had a blocked nose 🤣

@shakeitoffsis lol,🤣🤣 I really wanna don't myself but I suppose I'll have to suffer for now till I speak with doctor.

Ask your pharmacist

Try plain steam in the meantime to help unblock

Thanks all x

I did the whole way through both pregnancies, used to dot it on my pjs at night to help with the blocked nose.

@TheSnailAndTheWaaaail I know vicks is good because jnused thar in my last pregnancy but this time round the vicks ain't helping

Yeah I'm taking about olbas oil, I used it with no issues.

Pharmacist would give me zero help when I asked similar questions. Just said ask your gp x

@CR7 yeah I got the same reply from pharmacy today. X

I got bitten by a very hungry mosquito or ten a few weeks ago. Wanted advice on after bite and repellent etc. pharmacist said if pregnant they won't give any advice whatsoever and to ask my gp xx

@CR7 oh no.. did the gp recommend anything? How far gone are you? Xx

Wouldn't recommend anything so I just itched. 14 weeks x
