you should never use the neat oils not even in the bath because they a, the oil will only sit on the top of the water and not do much good and b, they burn or cause a skin skin reaction etc so you should always blend it before use... if its going in the bath add a couple of drops milk or even bubble bath hope that helps x

Duh me! I always use bubble bath.... That's a carrier too, right?

Girls cud i just ask sum of ur advise. Im 33 weeks 2moz but when i attended my MW apt 2weeks ago i was measuring at 37weeks so MW said i cud be ready to go any time now. Would uses advise me to uses this now (as MW thinks my dates are wrong) or wait until i am 40weeks off scan (if i get there). x

I wouldn't if I were you, if mw is going off fundal height measurement, then there's quite a margin for error, or you could have a lot of fluid etc, scan dates much more accurate. you don't to be inviting a premmie in to the world early really
