I'm having my baby!

I gave in and tried the castor oil and let me tell you it doesn't work like people say. I took 4 tbs in 24 hours sporadically. I had contractions 3-4 mins apart but my water didn't break so  I took a hot shower and layed down. I fell asleep for 4 hours and woke up with no contractions. I ate and decided to go get checked out and the hospital.  I'm here and my contractions started being irregular and they checked out baby and the water is low so I have now started cervadil. I'm so excited! ♡ :) my complete birth story to come soon!! ♡ :)

I do not recommend castor oil it was horrible for me during labor. I pooed the entire time.  It was so embarrassing.

Doctors don't recommend you take castor oil because it puts your baby in distress. Your baby would be safer if you slipped and fell. There are better ways to help your body go into labor
