Hang on. .. who is "they?"
Who told you to take it??
I dont know your situation but I can tell you that taking castor oil is not a good thing to do if the baby isnt full term.
If a doctor told you (which I highly doubt) to take it to induce labour, why didnt they schedule an induction or c-section at a hospital where you can be monitored??!!
If a friend told you... then dont do it. They are probably not qualified in obgyn and have no idea. Most likely just heard about it on random websites.  Do not believe everything you see or hear, it could be more dangerous than you realise.

Don't induce labor, mama. You've gotten this far, you can make it the rest of the way until baby is ready to see you! Yes it ***** royally and at this point the waiting alone can almost drive you crazy, but baby needs you to keep her safe and warm.
Take it as easy as you can, and don't give up. Hold that precious little girl in there like her life depends on it.

suck it up mama.. its tuff but we carry precious cargo. when baby & your body is ready she will come. most of us all expierence the same pains espicially in the last stretch of pregnancy. Be mentally strong and get pampered for some relaxation. im 35+ & look like a racoon and waddle worse than a duck! lol but just hang tight.

Your only 36weeks&4days? Your considered full term at 37 weeks.....you should try to wait at least 3 more days to start your labor. I know its tough, but you didn't come this far for you baby to potentially have any type of problem.

Venus are you kidding me... u need at least to 38weeks before you even think of having this baby .  You dont want ur baby to have issue breathing and have to stay in NICU.. Just hang in there for alittle while more and it be over before you know it. We are all on same boat.

I totally understand you Im 33 +4 and I cant wait too but I know that now it will be bad idea because my baby need.more time to came out, but how long are you? May be you can talk to your dr and see if now the can induced you. If they see is safe for the baby to born now, I heard you can walk a lot to tried start the contractions or drink the castor oil.
