I have contacted my fellow herbalists and health food specialists, and no one has heard of Jojoba oil being contraindicated during pregnancy. As far as I know it is a bush from the desert, and as long as it is not mixed with chemicals and is used naturally as a massage oil, I see no problems. I would however, try massaging the oil on the back of the hand and wait to see any reaction.

I am not aware of any studies on this subject.

To keep the abdomen skin moist and lessen stretch marks, I do suggest cocoa butter and/or vitamin E. Use daily all over the stomach area and buttocks.
