Just took some castrol oil

[AliceMarie]

Well, I wasn't going to take any but my MIL said that's how she went into labor. She had some so she put some in oj and gave it me. I was still hesitant, but I went ahead and drank it. Keep your fingers crossed. I've had really bad bh all day so I'm hoping it will work.(:

I have such bad allergies, that it would scare the hell out of me taking something i never had while being pregnant. I could see if i was constantly monitored but that would scare me & doesnt it put baby in distress? Wouldnt that be y contractions would start? Scary...

It's a natural oil that is actually used as a laxative, it loosens everything up and will sometimes cause you to start contracting. It can't hurt you or your baby as long as you don't take more than it tells you too because its all natural.

It's a laxative that stimulates your bowels and can make you contract to get labor going. But there's also bad sides to it so do some research before trying it. A lot of people are very wary of it because of the negative side effects. But I'd try anything to avoid pitocin. Haha

I took castor oil with my first but only after I was having contractions. My baby was fine.

Ok so call me crazy but... Wtf is castrol oil? Ive heard ppl talk about it but what is it? Same with those.primrose whatever things... I feel kinda dumb asking but its really driving me crazy not knowing lol

I don't think its working, I thought it might be doing something because I was feeling a lot of pressure in my lower stomach and back. I'm still feeling it but it seems like bh to me.
