castor oil

Does it work? Is it worth it?  How do I take it, like how much? I'm seriously that desperate. Lol

Im 39 & 3 days. Im not sure I want to try it. My mother used it with my brother and she said she pooped all over the place during labor. Lol but she keeps suggesting it to me. I guess I can hold off until monday at least and see if anything has changed when I see my dr.

I think it's only bad if you take it too soon. My doctor said to go ahead and try at 39 weeks, but I was too scared.

They say only take like 2 tablespoons. I never took it. But, it sent my mom into labor with me, and she said it was awful, she had bad diarrhea the whole time she was in labor. How far are u?
