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

Honestly I think this is stupid. Everyone has heir own opinion. She puts this up because it is her own opinion and he own thoughts on it. Its ok to get negative and positive responses. Momy2be1215 I wouldn't write anyone back that is "against or for" What you've posted and I would most definitely not fight back with people who obviously had a different effect happen. Yes there are studies that say different things. But one can have their own opinion if one says it's bad then that's what they think and if one says it's ok then that's what they think. Honestly making a big deal about whether she is right or wrong wasn't her intentions and she was just giving information she has found out. Take it or don't. But don't start arguments over something so small. Everyone has a different pregnancy and different effects. Whether people think eating a whole pineapple is not normally then that's not normal to them. I'm not a first time mom and I honestly don't think she put this up to scare any one so don't take it that way. Information is information no matter what if you disagree it's ok to give your opinion but no one should take it to heart. No body really knows anybody on here anyway so fighting with someone that lives thousands of miles away is pointless especially when it turns into a debate where obviously everyone has had different things happen. Come on mommies get along and be supportive of each other. Let someone give their opinion about your topic don't get offended or agitated. We all have different views on things don't argue that your view is right cause we're all human and really who knows if anything we do is right or wrong. Read it take it or not but don't be rude because you disagree with someone. She had her own opinion about something doesn't mean she's wrong in anyway at all. It doesn't mean anyone is wrong whether they did it or not everyone is different. Stay positive with each other :)

Verified sources ARE on the internet.  There are a lot of reputable sources that one can find to research something from the internet.  

My doctor doesn't tell women to not use the internet for research.  

Anyway, the poster was providing information to help and many agree with her.  Statements have been made to the contrary.  It's up to a woman to make her choices in her pregnancy but arguing about it really doesn't help.  

luck to all

I think Claire, the moderator's statement is what we should all read on this thread.  It sums up clearly the intent of the thread and that the posters information is valid.  Luck to all!
