Nevermind the taste - taking it can cause meconium aspiration in your little ones :-( That can be fatal. ¡No bueno!

Also it can make the baby poop while inside you. Which is extremely dangerous. I definitely will not be trying it

It is a laxative that helps induve labor, but it wont work unless you are already dialating/effaced/baby dropped. It causes sever diahrea so it is not recommended unless your dr gives you the okay. I tried it with my son and i wasnt dialated so it didnt work, but had false contractions/ diarrhea all night. And it tastes like oily chap stick!!

Castro oil: From what I remember my sister took it 11 years ago to help induce labor. Its literally something you choke down. She said it was aweful. I hear a lot of people throw up from the taste. :/ but idk about the pineapple part haha.
