castor oil

[SMarie24]

Has anyone tried this to induce labor? Pros? Cons?

I liked it. Haha I had been backed up for so long that having diarrhea was a blessing. Took a lot of pressure off my lower area. I took it once a week before my due date and nothing. Then again two days after my due date and went into labour 2 days later. It just depends if your body is ready to go into labour. Definitely don't take more than 2tbsp. I recommend you start with 1/2-1tbsp

Thanks ladies

If your body is ready it may help otherwise you will get a full symphony on the porcelain god tonight. Don't use over 2 table spoons. Pleas keep in mind this is a family cure but I don't produce patocin so I have to be induced every time.

Oh yeah,  that was Saturday night.  Still nothing going on for me,  even after a membrane sweep.  I'm now 40+2

Tried it and 4 hours later I was having contractions they became 8 minutes apart for 7 hours and we're pretty strong,  then just stopped out of no where. When I took it I was 0 dialated 0% effaced, & after 7 hours of hard contractions I only dialated to a 2. Oh yeah,  it also gave me bad gas & diarrhea

I tried it with two pregnancies. The first time I got diarrhea. Went into labor two days later. Second time, nothing. No side effects or contractions. I haven't had any success with castor oil. Walking and sex are my recommendations for a natural induction.
