I took 2 tablespoons at around 7:00 pm ended up in labor and delivery around 12 BC of blood pressure, I was still 1-2 cm dilated and was having braxton bucks that hurt pretty bad, I am home now hopefully they will excell into the real thing! I'm ready to hold my baby

Following as well ! I'm 37 weeks (measuring 38 weeks) ...Im 3 centimeters dilated and 50% effaced. Took same dose of castor oil as you did two nights ago... started off with 1tbsp and gradually increased to 3 tbsp w/orange juice. Nothing happened for me... just had a few more bowel movements than usual. No nausea or diarrea. Hoping it works for you! Keep us posted! !!
