I’m sitting here at 41 weeks and still no baby. I will be induced tomorrow if he doesn’t decide to come on his own.

I know how dangerous castor oil is due to the fact that it can pass the placenta and make the baby poop.

But I was wondering if I ate a bunch of dates (due to their fiber content) if it could still bring on contractions like castor oil does?

I know this sounds weird I just didn’t know if anyone would know if it could help? I would really rather not have to be medically induced.

I was 1 cm dilated and 70% effaced at my last appointment if that helps.
