******* Oil To Help Start Labor??

[heidimarie2308]

So I'm a FTM 38 Weeks exactly with no dilatiin but lost my mucus plug almost three weeks ago...I'm pretty frustrated I havbt at least dilated to a 1cm...I've tried just about everything just to help ny body out...I lve heard of castrol oil working...do u need to be dilated already? Is it safe? Any advice would be lovely... id rather not be induced or have a csection..

I did the Castor oil and it worked great no problems with baby nothing but it was only cuz I was being taken care of by an idiot dctr that didn't even notice everytime the baby dropped she would go.right back up as soon as he checked me.. I was like that for almost 4weeks until I couldn't take it anymore.. I had a friend recently try it n nothing happened she didn't get any side affects either and her baby also came out healthy.. so Idk it all depends on ur body but I would just wait it out. If you can go to the beach n get in the water for a bit.. something about the waves stimulates labor. I'm doing that sometime this week.. it worked for my cousin but I couldn't try it was winter time lol

I didnt drink caster oil but my daughter did have meconium in her lungs when she was born so i didnt get to hold or see her till the next day and she was in the NICU for 2 days where i had to live by their rules and was only allowed to pick her up when she was awake!( you have to have permission to do anything!!) seriously it was brutal and i wouldnt ever risk that happening ever!  oh ya i should add she had an IV put in her head for fluids and for that they have to shave a strip of hair off.... and she had dark thick long hair... looked pretty sad...

Nooooo don't do it just wait...ur baby will come when its their time I'm 38 weeks 3 days ....feeling loads of pains & pressures but caster oil I would Never touch especially when it could make ur own baby poop inside And they can inhale it.....that's disturbing.

I understand ur situation.. I am 38 weeks 5 days i also have done everything but drink the castor oil.. Everything i read has different answers some people it does wonders and sends them into labor and others get really sick.. So Im scared to try it..

No its not good. Causes horrible runs and also I've heard can cause baby to have first bm which is not good at all. I wouldn't try it.
