******* oil

So, I was told by MANY people that if you take a teaspoon of ******* oil, you'll go into labor. Has anyone did this?

I just posted this question on my fb page and out of 50 women only 3 had something positive to say about it. All the other women were mothers who tried it themselves with bad effects. I wouldn't risk it.

Evening Primrose Oil capsules are much better in my opinion. Won't put you into labor unless your body is ready, all it does is help thin the cervix. It's natural, you don't have to drink it, and doesn't harm baby or make you poop.

Thank you,  bluu.  That's why it's *****.  Because a lot of moms were posting the motor oil instead of the laxative.  So Castor oil is ok to post,  and the motor oil gets bleeped.

It has worked for me twice with no complications. I also took it before my three inductions to help me poo so I would not poop during labor. Which it worked for that also.

What kind of oil? It blanked out whatever word you wrote.  If you meant castor oil, it doesn't always work but It can. It can also cause diarrhea so be careful.
