skin care with liquorice root extract in

[aimee2015]

I've been using a face wash and moisture for the last 14 weeks of pregnancy ive just noticed to day that it has liquorice root extract in which says it isn't safe in pregnancy and causes miss carriage or pre term labour im so worried now ive never even heard of this liquorice root extract

Never heard of that. There is no way anything could get through your skin, and then through the placenta. if anything could cause miscarriage, it will be well known.

I kno I am gonna stop using it km sure it would only have the smallest amount I hope I'm 14 +2 now wish baby would kick so I kno everything is OK x

Is that not only if you are ingesting it I.e. eating the liquorice root?

Don't expect movement for a while, most people don't get anything til at least 20 weeks especially if it's your first.

this is my 3rd baby but 5th pregnancy.hope fully feel it soon but may book a early gender scan in couple of weeks

no it does say in skin care too

I was gifted a liquorice lip oil and decided to not use it.
Some people are more sensitive to certain plants and some less.
I for example had cramps and spotting after having tea with lemongrass. Most people say lemongrass is okay to use in pregnancy, but there are studies that have said it can cause a miscarriage. You can be sensitive and not sensitive to liquorice root I guess. For me the effect from lemongrass was pretty much instant, in the same day after few cups of the tea. I stopped using it and it all turned well. Anyway I wouldn’t advice to continue using something your gut tells you you’re not sure about.

yea ive stopped using it now just incase just think im goin to book a gender scan at 16 weeks just to make sure everything is OK every thing was fine at my 12 week 5 days scan but just can't help worry now especially when everything is dying down now in the 2nd trimester
