ftm 38 weeks castrol oil

So I'm a ftm I'm currently 38 weeks and at my check up the Dr told me baby is ready to come I literally get NO sleep , I can't eat , and I can't even sit without feeling uncomfortable and can't breathe and on top of that I'm beyond stressed.  So I decided to try castrol oil ( IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING NEGATIVE TO SAY PLEASE JUST KEEP IT TO YOURSELF ) I drank 2 tbsp mixed with tang at about 330 let's hope this works .. Anybody try this around 38 weeks and had a successful out come ?

Worked great for me. I took 2 tbsp on my due date and didn't mix it with anything, went into labor a couple hours later.

I hope it works for you! It didn't work for me :( I'm 38 weeks + 4 days and took 2 tablespoons with 6 oz of orange juice three times, once every 6 hours but it didn't cause any contractions or even work as a normal laxative, so I just figured my body doesn't react to castor oil normally so I stopped taking it today (too nasty to take if it doesn't help me) Good luck!!

She said if you have nothing positive not to say it. Castor oil doesn't cause any health risk to your baby.


I took it at 8pm and 11pm tbsp each at 37+6 I had my son at 38 weeks at 11:23 am

I've read that it's kind of a state of mind type thing.... with any home induction method. If you believe it it will work and if not it won't! Good luck!!

I tried it but it didn't work, although I know people it did work for. I heard its more effective with oj or pineaple juice.
