castor oil?

[nicole8989]

How long does it take to work?     I took 1 tbl spoon like 2 hrs ago.  And have had a few contractions.     I was in the dr office today.  I was 3cm.   50% effaced.   With contractions and pressure.   I was sent home.   and how long should i wait to take more?

LOL I thought for the longest time you all were talking about "castrol" engine oil and I kept thinking "wow I can't believe people can drink that stuff" then my husband pointed out its castol oil the stuff you cook with....I still have no idea what that is :)

Baby can have a bowel movement in the womb even if you don't get the runs... And can end up on oxygen in the NICU... I would wait for baby to come and avoid the castor oil.

Pregnancy is 40 weeks, not how long you want it to be. You ladies should let your babies come when they are ready. They haven't been born yet for a reason. If you want to try to naturally induce, you should wait till you're at least 40 weeks or later. I know you're uncomfortable, trust me. But the health of the baby is most important and it's healthiest for them to stay baking as long as they can.
