Answer

castor oil can cause baby to have a bowel movement in utero which is very dangerous

Answer

Highly advised against. I wouldn't do it. Too many risks.

Answer

Have you read about castor oil? It's very dangerous. The risks outweigh the benefits. But the decision is completely up to you.

Answer

Let baby cook as long as it can, it's better for it.

Answer

Not only is it dangerous, but maybe this pic will help you relax. It's only another week or two tops. I know it's hard- we have SEVEN kids. But hang in there!

Answer

I took castor oil with my first child 18 years ago .. he came the very next day but it's obvious he was going to be born anyday .. my friend tried it a couple of days later and it didn't work for her .. if you're baby isn't ready to be born then nothing will work .. plus I'm quite sad if the fact that it isn't his tru birth date .. leave baby where it is

Answer

NEVER use castor oil without your doctor's permission. If that baby ain't ready, it ain't coming out. Drinking that just because you aren't even to 40w and are feeling how everyone else felt just risks harming your baby.

Answer

Agreed with the others. Not a good idea at all, very dangerous.It totally sucks and you just want it to be over and have them be here. But really nothing you do is going to make them come early they unfortunately come when they are ready. 
Hang in there they will be here before you know it!  😀

Answer

Next OB appointment ask doctor if you can strip your membranes. I did with my second daughter because I was so miserable. And he agreed.
