I'm the same way lol don't feel bad. I don't know what either is as well.
Some ppl take it to induce labour but it can cause severe diarrhoea and its not recommended.. pineapple is also said to help induce labour has to be fresh pineapple tho not canned
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.
Castor oil is a laxative/stool softener it helps induce labor ppl say.
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!!
Also it can make the baby poop while inside you. Which is extremely dangerous. I definitely will not be trying it
Nevermind the taste - taking it can cause meconium aspiration in your little ones :-( That can be fatal. ¡No bueno!
