castro oil?

Has anyone used castro oil n it worked. Am 39weeks 5days n still no labour sign. I was thinking abt using castro oil but dont know how much I should take. I have tried everything possible, from long walks to climbing of mountain to pounding yam to squats. So I am now thinking of taking castro oil.

I've never tried it but mostly because those I know who have ended up with severe diarrhea and some also vomited off of it but that's it - no labor. However, I wish you luck if you try it!

Just looked it up for us i copied what it said


How much castor oil do you use to induce labor?
Castor oil can be purchased at most drug stores in the laxative aisle. Opinions on how to use castor oil vary. Most midwives recommend using 2 ounces. You will likely want to mix it with something to make it taste more palatable. Castor oil has an unpleasant oily taste. If you use castor oil, you may want to try one of the following recipes.
