I get this weekly email saying how many
weeks I am and what goes on. Well it sent
one about skin care and pregnancy. It
says not to use benzyrol peroxide and
other kinds due to be linked to birth
defects. Well I was told it was the only
thing I can use. Now im worried crapless
over this. I have been using bp for weeks
now.
Has anyone else used this during pregnancy
and their baby turn out ok?? Please
respond

What website do you get the email from?
Also, how much bp do you use? I doubt you
cover your whole body in it, so I think
you will be okay if you stop now.

Natalia, I just noticed you are from .W.I
too...Small world
to the poster, I think you will be fine as
long as you don't drink it or bathe in it.
But to be safe, I would recommend not
using it until you talk to your .O.B.
Good luck!!
.P.S. How far along are you?

drives me insane. I feel ugly and it
leaves these lttle red marks! Its gotten
a little worse since becoming pregnant but
I have always had it since I was 14 but
that was just little bitty ones that wasnt
that noticeable :(

Pregnancy hormones can create breakouts,
its normal. In my opinion its better to
just deal with it than to take any chances
with oinments that there is little
research on in terms of how it affects
pregnancy.

My doctor told me that the only thing to
keep acne under control safely during
pregnancy is to use a cotton ball with
some rubbing alcohol on my face morning
and night. He said that it won't clear
my acne, but it will keep it somewhat
under control. I was on a benzoyl
peroxide face treatment when I conceived
and he told me to stop using it
immediately.

i just got back from my monthly check up.
I asked my doctor about using benzyrol
peroxide and she said its perfectly fine
as long as you dont you alot of it
everyday. And that theres no real studies
done about it that linked to birth
defects. I dont know what to do tho :( I
dont want my face to look like a pizza
lol, but I sure as hell dont want my baby
to have effects because of what I do. I
guess im gunna quit using it and see how
my face gets and if it gets worse, I just
find something that is safe.

Yeah, since there aren't any studies to
prove either way... Wouldn't you rather
be safe than sorry? A few pimples are
worth your babies safety right? :)

Check with your doctor.
A lot of meds are listed as "not to be
used in pregnancy" yet doctors prescribe
them because the dose is so far below the
risk level.
