Castor oil can cause the baby to poop in the amniotic fluid, and then to swallow it, and the baby can get pneumonia from this.  Don't use castor oil.

So Castor Oil will make you throw up but may bring on labor. Walking and sex with an orgasm could bring on labor. Make sure to relax and get plenty of sleep but also do the above.

Don't take castor oil.

My baby was born three days after a big party, where I went in high heels and danced and stood around half the night.  No contractions, no BH, no nothing.  Next day, nothing, next day, some BH, next day he was born.  It can happen pretty quickly that one day you're dancing in a party dress and the next day you're in labor.  Try to relax.

There isn't much you can do.  Make sure you are closely watched and induced if baby is in distressed.

I know people who have said castor oil works to get labor goin but it may make u run to the bathroom lol......its supposed to start contractions cuz it bothers your uterus.....I'd only take it if you have a healthy pregnancy tho just to b safe
