Castor Oil to induce labor.

Who's tried it? I'm 37 weeks with strong contractions but I'm not dilated or thinned out at all so I got me some castor oil and I wanna know if it worked.

I just had my baby last month, and I did the castor oil to try to induce labor and it did nothing but brought false contractions that was so bad I cried. I learned that the baby will come when its ready, so just be patient

Go to the grocery store buy a box of red leaf raspberry tea. I've used celestial brand with my other two kids I believe it's called raspberry zinger. You can drink hot or cold. Drink 3 large glasses all in one sitting and go for a long walk. Then come back home and drink a few more. I made my gf do this last week she started drinking at 4pm and had the baby at 2am. My results were that fast as well. :)

My midwife told me about that one, however she told me not to do it... It works, it's just when in labor she said that if you do it you will end up pooing everywhere
