BIO-OIL and scars
Hiseen a post about scarring from someone who had a c-sec 11 wks ago, i can't fnd it now to respond.
I had mine nearly 6 mths ago and have been using bio-oil sine about 30wks pregnant as i was huge and got quite a few red stretch marks. Mine were deep red/purple and the thickest parts of them were 0.5cm - 0.75cm.
I was getting a bit down about them as going away in 6 wks and dreading getting into any kind of swimming suit as i'm still about 3 stone overweight. Anyway i just happened to glance in the mirror (i try to avoid them) at my tum the other day and they are hardly noticeable.
You can get bio-oil at boots, sainsburys and major chemists, possibly other large supermarkets too.

i have been using bio oil since birth of my 1st child - 2years ago and you can still see the stretch marks really clearly!
do you think you can put it on your c-sect scar to soothe it?
my health visitor suggested E-45 for that...
just wondering !
Do you use it exactly like it says - massaging for 5 mins?
