Castor Oil?DOES IT WORK
I'M 37WKS+6 AND I WANNA GO IN LABOR.... WHATS YOUR CASTOR OIL EXPERIENCE??
Don't do it cause it can harm your baby . You want your baby to come out alive and healthy .
The side effects from using castor oil to induce labor result from the laxative properties of the oil. If you do not exceed the recommended dose the side effects are likely to be minimal. Some of the side effects of using castor oil to give birth can include the following conditions:
Diarrhea
Abdominal cramping
Nausea
Muscle cramps
Decreased urination
Dehydration
Cramping in the intestines is a sign that the castor oil is working and uterine contractions should start soon after abdominal cramps are first experienced. If you do experience diarrhea when using castor oil to induce labor you should keep your fluid intake high to avoid becoming dehydrated.
Some women are concerned that using castor oil to induce labor will see their baby suffer the same side effects from the oil. However, castor oil is passed from the gut during normal bowel movements and the oil does not enter the mother’s blood stream, so it cannot be passed from mother to bab

I've done it it worked but i was overdue... AND at that time I had no idea about the risk if I did I would of never risked my baby ... DON'T DO IT
Don't do it unless you want to **** everywhere..plus it can kill your baby it can make baby poop in utero and the baby can swallow it
Not sure if it helps put u into labor i've heard some people do it.. but its a gurented vomit lol
NOOO!!! THIS lady recently tried that and her baby got the side affects of it and had diarrhea in the womb and had inhaled it and the baby passed away.
Do NOT use castor oil. You can lose your baby. Besides is baby isn't ready just wait! Making them come before they are ready is really bad, they aren't comming on their own just yet for a reason
No that's not a good idea I've heard a lot of women's few and it can definitely hurt the baby
