Castor oil??

How many of you tried it? How much did you take? How far along were you? Did you go into labor? If so, how soon after??

I did two tablespoons and had diarrhea and labor.  Please don't.  Also my baby did poop inside.  No health issues for baby but made for a absolutely miserable labor.  So much pain and humiliation.

I called my ob and she said all two tablespoons would do is cause diaherrea and possibly some cramping but they're is no effect for the baby

A women in age group 18-24 shared her story today after using it and said that it cause her baby to have her first bm she got a lung infection and passed away after only being  2 days old. Its not worth trying if you don't go into labor naturally after your due date your doctor will safely induce you when its time! I hope you can find her story and read it for yourself....good luck hang in there!!

I tried it with my very first pregnancy and it was horrible. I only consumed about two tsp's omg I was throwing up, urinating, and having a bowel movement at the same time. And my daughter still came a day after her due date its didn't help at all lol just made me sick...

The only way that happens if you become severely dehydrated because dehydration is linked to babies passing a bm in the womb

I wouldn't use it, the oil can cause your baby to have a bm before birth and can cause MAJOR lung infections and on the really scary side even death. I would err on the side of caution and not try it.
