Castor oil????

[PureHazel]

I'm 37wks 6d and MISERABLE!! My blood pressure is up a lil and my sugar is high! I'm soo ready to get this lil boy out of me!! I dilated only half of centimeter ..I'm walking and I tried the nipple stimulation but nothing is helping! Many people is telling me to try castor oil but I'm unsure about it..Has anyone tried it? Does it work?

Thanks for all the advice..I really thought about it and its just not worth putting my lil man in harms way..I just gotta be patient

Oh and it works for the wrong reasons. It causes the baby foetal distress which is why it can induce labor. Baby can do a bowel.movement inside and swallow it, making baby very ill. Trust me my daughter was ill when born from an infection. I know its hard and your fed up but there are safer things to try...try evening prinrose oil..sex..walking..pineapple.. the average pregnancy is 38-42 weeks and as fed up as you are baby will come when ready. Trust me I'm fed up and being induced in two days. I wish I didn't have health problems so I could go.overdue and go.into labor naturally. You're at the end of.it now. Don't use castor oil..its really not good.or fair to baby. Good luck. There are other harmless things to.try :)

I agree, don't use it. Everyone at the end of pregnancy is miserable, it's part of it. For baby's  best start they need to stay put as long as possible. You risk dehydration, vomiting, nausea, diarrhea and abdominal cramping - you would get similar effects getting food poisoning or stomach virus.

I agree with rachyrou it can make it to where your baby has a bowl movement in your tummy and swallows it instead of waiting. Your only 37 weeks,, if you want try spicy food or fresh pineapple,, also try a really good foot massage

Do not touch it. A lot of babies have been.very seriously ill from the mother taking it. Midwives and doctors recommend to avoid.it for.good reason. It's not worth risking your babies health for. If you've taken if and your baby is fine that's lucky but doesn't mean its safe x

When is the best time to take it?

YEESSSSSSSS, it works, give it at least 12-24 hours. Mother of 6 1/2. I did it with 4 of mine.
