I read that if you take castor oil it can cause your baby to digest their own feces which can get them really sick. Plus you don't want to cause stress to the baby until nature says its time.i took it the first pregnancy and all it did was make me sick and crampy and still didn't induce labor.

It worked for me, just not fun being on the toilet and then contraction starting every 6 minutes. lol If you read the bottle it tells you how to take it, I mixed mine with raspberry leaf tea.
