Don't EVER take castor oil!

Omg I took 2 tablespoons of castor oil at 5:30 and around 9:00 I started to get EPIC diarrhea that I STILL have.. I literally filled up the whole toilet I was peeing out poop. I swear I've never had it like this in my entire life... I would NOT recommend this.. I  can't believe I was being really selfish and tried this. Hopefully my baby girl will be okay :'(

Castor oil doesn't induce labor it's a laxative so all it does is make you have the poos and having the poos that bad is what can put u into labor but I agree castor is a very bad idea.

Our midwife actually warned us about this. Castor Oil is an outdated method to try and induce labor.... Many times having the effects you described. Hope you feel better soon, and drink lots of water to replace your liquids.
