Anybody tried castor oil before?

I'm 38 weeks and sick of being pregnant! Going to try castor oil tonite or tomorrow hopefully it will throw me into labor. As of today I'm 3 1/2 cm and 75% effaced and I'm pretty sure my body is ready. Anybody tried it before and can give some suggestions? How much to take? How long does it take to work? How will I know I'm in labor and not just stomach pains? Thanks!

The only thing you will accomplish with castor oil is diarreah .... Nipple simulation and  having your partner ejaculate inside you will work better! The natural prostaglandins released in ejaculate are the same as the artificial ones used to induce labor in the hospital :)
