Successful stories of using castor oil??

[babee_mamma]

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 (:

Even though she clearly says she isn't interested in people's negative opinions they still feel the need to jump in. I'm sure she knows risks and such. It's not your pregnancy. I don't understand why people try to make other feel bad about something just cause they don't agree. If you don't agree then don't freaking take it. Worry about your own pregnancy and let her make her own decisions.  Jeeze.

Ive heard castor oil has more risks then benefits, the only benefit being that it might or might not induced labor but could cause false contractions, still birth , even your baby doing bowel movement in the womb ! Just because it worked for some people doesnt mean it would work for you! So whyy evenn risk it .

You need to tell the dr bc you will be dehydrated more than normal and if you do not get a proper drip going you can have serious complications during birth. They will be able to tell by your urine sample that youre dehydrated too if you choose to try and hide it, and they will be suspicious and ask. It isnt bad, they just need to know if they need antibiotics at the ready and possible breathing treatments also immediately available for the baby should they swallow meconinium due to the castor oil. If it is something you do not want your dr to know about, you should really consider the harm you're possibly causing for no reason.

Question I've been thinking bout it but Can the doctor notice if you took castor oil?

If youre going to attempt castor oil please do not double the DAILY dose at one time by taking 4tbsp. You are only supposed to have 2TBSP in a DAY.
