Thank you guys for sharing your stories!!
I had my son 4 weeks early and he was even life flighted they thought he was having heart problems I too was told by a friend that it was safe but it def IS NOT!
It can also cause the baby to have its first bowel movement (meconium) in the womb. If he swallows it, it can be really dangerous for the baby, they can develop lung infections or wose. Saw a documentary where the baby swallowed meconium, and they almost couldn't get him breathing. Scary.
Castor oil can also cause severe diahrea which in turn can cause dehydration which can cause preterm labor. Eat raisens, I hate prune juice you can try it but there is another juice called plum smart that's good, activia yogurt, and milk of magnesia. Good luck.
Oh thanks you guys! Yep definitely wont be doing that!! I'll find something different or suffer lol
If you've been going into preterm labor, there's a high chance it will put you into labor. My sister took castor oil to induce labor, not to treat constipation, and a small about, like a tablespoon, and it shot her baby into the birth canal and wrapped the cord around his neck 3 times, he needed to be removed via emergency c-section because it happened so quickly, so I'd say it's not worth the risk! Good luck!
I have read alot of people talk about the baby goin in destress n with the risk of sending u into preeterm labor i would stay away from it
Okie dokie thanks ladies :) what are the risks? This woman is insisting its OK.
I too recommend staying away from it. Talk to your doctor or try a suppository.
I wouldnt risk it go get merilax i think i spelled it wrong but it helps its a stool softener using them is safe my OB said
I would stay away from the castor oil and use an enema or suppository
Also I am having a scheduled C-Section next Friday the 8th.
