Labor

Soo I've Been Cleaninq All Morninq, Tryna Stay Active And Busy, To Help Me Jumpstart Labor....
I'm Literally Almost Done Cleaninq The WHOLE House... I Guess I Will Try The Castor Oil And OJ To See If It Sends Me In Full Blown Labor Lol..
I'm 36W And Dr Says She Can Come Anyday, And When He Gets Back Into Town If She's Still Not Here Yet He'll Induce Me.
Why? Because I'm To Lil For Her, I've Had Problems My Whole Pregnancy And Was Told In The Very Beqinninq I Wouldn't Make It To Full 40. I've Been Hiqh Risk Since Day 1... And This Is The First Time My Preqnancy Has Made It This Far And I'm Truly Thankful For It!!! She Is Now 5lbs So Her Weiqht Is Not So Much A Concern Cause She's Not Under 5lbs Dr Said.
But QUESTIONS, I'm Not Dilated I've Been Havinq Small Contractions For About A Month, And I've Lost My Plug Already (2WeeksAgo)... Will The Castor Oil Help Me Dilate ?
And Does It Matter What Castor Oil It Is? Like I've Seen A Bunch Of Different Bottles Does It Matter Which One It Is ?  
Any Answers Ladies Would Help !

I wouldn't try the castor oil if your high risk! If you're high risk your doctor should schedule you for an induction. Don't try to do it in your own

Castor oil does not help with dialation, it can help bring on contractions. Evening primrose oil in the vag. can help dialation. Clary sage essential oil on the abdomen and inner ankles can help bring on contractions.

Ahh Dang It... Would It Be Bad To Do The Castor Oil?
I Really Wanna Try And Jumpstart  And Go In Labor Instead Of Them Havinq To Induce.

My doctor said none of that helps that the baby will come when its ready. But if ur at risk then u might just have to wait to be induced

I think castor oil is out of the question due to you being a high risk, have you tried sex?
