You have to eat ALOT of it. My sister ate a lot by eating it almost everyday and the day before she went into labor she ate it the night before..

Castor oil is not recommended by most doctors, and can cause serious side effects, try using natural methods, walking, bouncing on a birthing ball, swaying back and forth, it really helps!
