Yes if you are high risk don't do it I took it cuz my dr suggested it because I want a non medicated pregnancy and she is trying very hard to give me the pregnancy experience I want but I took it mind you I'm 40 weeks and 5 days NOT 30 something weeks so I will be induced anyways soon just unfortunately I don't get the experience of going into labor naturally it makes me sad but everything else is in place baby is head down and has been since I was 36 weeks I'm 3 cm dilated I've lost my mucous plug and she has dropped in my belly but no contractions nada nothing zilch zippo she just doesn't wanna come out on her own hopefully she will respond to being medically induced so I don't have to get a C section

I wouldn't try castor oil because it can cause the baby to make bowel movements and harm you and baby.

Yes, for some people they swear it works, but VERY harmful.

Some people it works and some do not. I wouldn't risk it as beinga ftm myself..
