I tried three times and just got the runs. Nipple stimulation worked for me. I did it at 38 weeks and my water broke.

I tried it a few weeks ago when I was in early labor and all it did was make me poo a lot.

Castor oil can make the baby have a bowel movement. It worked for me.but he pooped right before he was born. So be cautious.  And she was right.  You have to be ready and so does baby ;)

It has worked twice for me. You need to be showing signs of labor for it to be effective.

I did it twice and it didn't put me in labour, just gave bad diarrhea. Plus it made baby poop inside me, which is very dangerous. Thankfully my daughter was OK. I wouldn't risk it.

Ive read that only women whose water has broken should do this because that's when it's most effective. Try lookin on WebMd. Some people don't see it as a reliable source but i know others that use it
