castor oil

I'm 37+3 weeks and I'm 1cm dilated my midwife attempted to do a stretch and sweep earlier today but could only fit a fingertip in so she tried what she could, obviously its not worked. Just wondering who has taken castor oil and been successful?

I wanna know the same thing! I'm 38 weeks and 3cm dilated. She stretched me a little but it didn't move my very next appointment showed still 3. I was about to get the castor oil at the store but got way to nervous. I really don't want anything to happen to my baby...
