THIS IS A PUBLIC SERVICE ANOUNCEMENT!!!!!!!

WARNING/MOMS PLEASE STOP DRINKING CASTOR OIL.

It is extremely unsafe yes I know it was have worked for some people my friend had a beautiful healthy baby it worked for her I desided after hearing her story I was going to try it but my mom told me (you better NOT) and moms knows best so I researched it and now I know why because it can put your child at serious danger if he poops inside of u and inhells it he/she can get really sick I just read a girl on here say her child was in the NICU for 30 days over it and some babies die few days after birth  I know pregnancy can be really hard I'm 37 weeks and will try everything but castor oil all I'm saying is please be smart before you do that and remember just because it works for one person DOES NOT MEAN IT WILL WORK FOR YOU hope some one listens have a safe and healthy delivery everyone

Ive seen many posts about it and even thought about taking it at the end if my son doesn't wanna come. But my mother in law had the plant and over the summer I saw soooo many dead bugs under her plant (cause its poison) I decided it was better for my son and I too not take it

I took Castor oil and my baby pooped in me and she actually did get an infection because of it. She was supposed to be in the hospital for 7 days. But my breast milk helped fight the infection.
