Early labor???

I'm 38 weeks but I'm super anxious for my little boy to be in my arms... I feel like everyone is having their baby before me but has anyone ever tried the castor oil?

I've read a lot of things that say don't take it! I read one story of a woman who lost her baby...Id consult a doctor first.

I did it with my second pregnancy. I spent three hours in agony in the bathroom and started having contractions that were 2mins apart. I was in hard labor for 20+ hours. I did not do my research if I did I probably would not have taken it. Talk to your doctor about it first!  Better to be safe than sorry. It can be a strain on your baby.  I took 2tbs mixed with orange juice. Good luck and keep is posted!
