They don't work. It was just time for baby to come n it just happened u drank that n u believe thats what worked. But anyway, it might make u sick n sometimes endanger ur baby. Good luck in trying.

2 teaspoons ... Mixed in with some type of juice, anything that will give it flavor. NO MORE THEN 2 tea spoons in one day (MrzMoMoof5)

Honestly your better off getting your cervix stretched.... Castro oil taste like **** and makes your ****.... It's not guaranteed to put you into Labor... I took 2 bottles and nothing happened... Other then me being sick for no reason... A week went by and I told my midwife she laughed and said that its just an old wives tale and she stretched my cervix the next day I went into labor....

I took castor oil when I was 40+4 and I went into labor about 9 hours later.
