I have dutifully used it with each pregnancy, and have started from around the 18-20 week mark, but am using it at 16 weeks this time because everything seems to be expanding a lot sooner :D. It also increases the elasticity of your skin, so once baby is born, the skin around the abdomen returns to normal shape a lot quicker, another thing I can testify to. I have also used it on my thighs and buttocks because the ingredients increase circulation, this will help prevent varicose veins, as long as massage is done in upward strokes towards to heart.
4 drops Lavender
4 drops Neroli (quite expensive so try and source a cheap bottle)
4 drops Frankincense
2 drops Bergamot
Blend in 30ml carrier oil made up of
90% almond oil
10% wheatgerm oil
I have also worked out the recipe to make 1litre so that I don't have to mix it up too often(although counting the drops takes a bit of concentration):
133 drops Lavender
133 drops Neroli
133 drops Frankincense
77 drops Bergamot
Blend in 1 litre carrier oil made up of
900ml almond oil
100ml wheatgerm oil
