It kinda make me feel better to know that some of you have gone through induction I was in the painful. I am soo really dont wanna get epidural becoz my friend has really bad back an I cant imagine having to live with that. Caster oil is too much of a risk dont think I can take it. Dalingee aww same boat mate dont feel sad your baby will be here soon. Btw hav you got an induction day yet??

I guess we're on the same boat! 41 week 2 days, still no sign of labor!! N the worse is that today is my birthday n I really want my daughter to come out, but like I said no sign of labor n am feeling really sad about it.... Just want to have the same birthday with my first :(

Castor oil is the real controversial issue, some women swear by it, others say it was useless and just made their birth worse. But i do feel your pain and where you're coming from, i can't imagine still waiting at 41 weeks, and if i do get that far i know i'd be seriously considering it too. But, you do have an induction date, thursday, its only 4 days away! Focus on that, the end is in sight, and who knows, you might get lucky and go into labor on your own before that!! Good luck girl!

i wouldnt try it usually after takin castor oil your tummy gets loose and you can end up dehydrated in labor which will make labor harder ncus ull be weak.. i was induced tuesday n had my bby 4 hrs later the pain is the same as normal labor so i would just wait but its ur choice momma ... good luck
