Castor oil?

Okay so I am completely done with this no sleep & pain. It's been over a week & I'm still at 2 cm. I been trying a lot of stuff  (teas & fruits). Which has soften my cervix bug that's it. What opinions/advice do you ladies have about Castor oil? How much should be taken? Please no rude comments, I am not in the mood for that. I just need my baby girl out already.

Thank you! I hope the castor oil works for me. Cause I been walking my whole pregnancy due to no car. I been eating fresh pineapple also but it doesn't do nothing & I'm trying to pop before I get induced.

I'll try it ti see what happens. It's my first time being pregnant so I'm undecisive. I've actually been using the oversized ball for the past 2 weeks so far. I tried the nipple stimulation but it caused something else's lol.

Also... try sitting on an oversized exercise ball and rotating in a circular motion. That helped my sister go in labor. Have you tried nipple stimulation??

It works for some people including myself. My last pregnancy I tried it after being sent home from my membrane sweep and being told I was only 2 cm and 40 % effaced. The Dr guessed probably I had another two weeks. I went home, walked a lot, and then my sister made me a chocolate milkshake with a couple teaspoons of castor oil. I had my son 6 hrs after leaving my appt. He was my 4th child, and I did have all of my babies extremely quick though so I really think it depends on how your own body works, and if the baby is ready or not. Either way good luck and hope you have a happy, healthy baby sooner than later!!!!

Castoroil don't work soon as they set an I.v and give you fluids your contractions will stop so ull be in false labor with the runs..at 39 week's you can opt for a voluntary induction..talk to your doctor but don't rush baby they need all the time they can get I'm 8 months preg feel all that comes along just part of it but hang in there it'll be over before you know it
