castor oil?

I know, I know, we've all heard the stories and everything. I'm just looking for success stories.

long story short? Saturday around 7pm I started having back pain and contractions that made the back pain worse, they continued until I went to the hospital yesterday at 6pm(cervix was closed) and left at 10pm(cervix was at a 1). Been having contractions continuously, and back pain that eventually went numb but feels "hot". My MIL talked me into taking 2oz of Castor Oil around 2pm today and so far, I'm having stomach cramps and feel like I've gotta poop. belly is making a lot of growling sounds. I'll keep y'all updated. I left this anonymous so that I wouldn't be personally attacked, cause some of y'all are mean 🤷
