You shouldn't use anything to bring on labour unless you're 40+. From what I've heard castor oil can be dangerous. I know ow it's hard but just wait it out. They'll come in their own time!

I wouldn't recommend castor oil. My doctor says it can cause issues with the baby and if it doesn't work, you will have severe diarrhea and you'll have to go into the hospital. I've been drinking red raspberry leaf tea and it's been helping so far.

I'm 38 weeks and 3 days it did not work for me. It has worked for other girls on here though, i guess it really just depends on the person. I took 2 tablespoons with a glass of orange juice.
