Have you tried to "Midwifes Brew" to induce labor naturally?

Question

Hi Mamas, this subject has peaked my curiosity and would love to hear some feedback about it.  It can also help other moms like me who are curious... share you're stories, put your vote in, it is appreciated 😊

Answer

I definitely wouldn't and am glad my hospital and midwife report you to CPS if you admit to taking it or anything else with castor oil

Answer

Not safe at all. It has castor oil in it and that is dangerous for baby.

Answer

Absolutely not

Answer

I will say don’t do it, it’s dangerous and can kill your baby. 
That being said, my parents used a similar mixture to induce when they were pregnant with my sister because they were having a home birth and wanted to ensure that she wouldn’t be a huge baby. (BAD REASONING, I know) It worked and my mom went into labor and delivered her. However, my sister has some undiagnosed issues and has always been emotionally stunted. Did this have anything to do with it? Who knows. But being induced early without the supervision of a doctor and for the sake of convenience certainly didn’t do her any favors. 
Don’t do it. Baby will come when they are ready.

Answer

This is not a safe option

Answer

I know its hard pregnant but wait until baby is ready or medically necessary! I waited 41 weeks and my daughter came out healthy and 6 lbs. imagine how small she would have been if I induced before she was ready!

Answer

I took it under the close supervision of my midwife. I’d never take it by myself. My water had already broken and was trying to avoid being induced. I had exact times I was to take it and was reporting to her every couple hours and after 8 hours I’d have been medically induced if it didn’t take. You don’t mess around with that kind of thing. I also don’t think I’d do it again despite having a positive result.
