Successful stories of using castor oil??

Hi, I just took 2 tablespoons of castor oil to try and get my labor going. First and foremost, please don't tell me not to do it and all of these horror stories of how it can make things go wrong for the baby. I am asking people who have SUCCESSFULLY gone into labor after drinking castor oil. Anyhow, has castor oil worked for any of you ladies? If so, how far along were you when you tried it? How long was it before you started going into labor (or had labor symptoms)? And how much did you take? Thanks (:

Well... I already took it as it says in my post. That's why I asked for no one to tell me not to do it and all of these risks. Besides, castor oil is just as natural as taking shots of vinegar, I just honestly think the oil tastes better and can be mixed with something to mask the taste more. Also, it says right in my "What to Expect When Expecting", the most updated book and a book written and approved by doctors that castor oil is fine. Any how though, once again, this is why I said don't post and tell me not to do it and I already did it before wrote the post. So why would you tell me not to or try to scare me with some stuff when I've done my fair share of research. So thanks any way but no thanks and have a great day.

I could care less if  you think it's annoying or not.. & so what if I put my "2 cents" in,  it's that your problem? I DON'T THINK SO! Don't worry about what I comment unless it's towards you :)  so.. like you said yourself mind YOUR OWN cause I wasn't talking to you in the first place. & how is what I said rude? It's only facts, not like I'm making it up.. But w.e.. btw I'm not mad I'm in a great mood :)

My mom did too. She said she had really bad contractions but she had me in like 5 hours and less than 10 mins of pushing. Idk if I would personally take it, cause I dont feel like ******** my brains out for hours...

Because its annoying when people on here are trying to get advice and stuff and there is always those certain people that have to put there 2 cents in all the time. I'm not mad haha. You seem like you're the one that is all upset. The girl that posted clearly has already taken it and she doesn't need to hear people horror stories or feel like she is harming her baby. If you don't agree, simply don't take it. But for you to put out there that she is risking her baby and **** is rude. You seem really mature lol.
