One I have to address the rudeness which is uncalled for ....you really need to think about how you say things because that comment was extremely rude !!!!

I was Induced and hated it I'm opting out of it this time unless absolutely necessary. If I were you I wouldn't do caster oil cuz yuck lol I would try something else like bouncing on a birthing ball or squats or walking stuff along those lines....always consult your doctor before trying any home remedy to induce labor they can give you insight to what's healthy and what's just old wives tales

I think probably what would be most painful would be watching your newborn suffer through pneumonia after aspirating meconium and leaving your baby in the NICU after you get discharged. Castor oil can make baby poop in utero which is extremely dangerous. In my personal opinion, don't take castor oil and refuse an induction that isn't medically necessary (42+ weeks or with actual imminent physical complications).
