ftm , 38 weeks castrol oil

So I'm a ftm I'm currently 38 weeks and at my check up the Dr told me baby is ready to come I literally get NO sleep , I can't eat , and I can't even sit without feeling uncomfortable and can't breathe and on top of that I'm beyond stressed.  So I decided to try castrol oil ( IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING NEGATIVE TO SAY PLEASE JUST KEEP IT TO YOURSELF ) I drank 2 tbsp mixed with tang at about 330 let's hope this works .. Anybody try this around 38 weeks and had a successful out come ?

I did it with my first but I used a hot coke in the microwave then I walked some and went into labor like three hours after raking it. I tried it again with my third and went into labor. I was contracting for a couple hours and then they stopped. Then I took it again the day after. Nothing at first some hours later I was watching TV and I felt some water rush water broke. This time I'm going to let her come natural.

Try stimulating your nipples or even use a breast pump but try not to pump out the colostrum ( doesn't really matter if you do ) that might get things moving for you if the oil doesn't work.

Girrrrrl I've tried everything in the book, from teas to castor oil to a yoga ball... Nothing ever really worked.

However with my first pregnancy on the night before my due date I went bike riding plus walked around squating and walking and i went into labor that night..not sure if its because of the exercises but you can give it a try.  As far as castor oil goes I tried it and it just gave me a really bad stomach ache and nothing happened..
