Has anyone used castor oil to induce labor ?!

Question

Please share stories !!!

Answer

Let Mother Nature do its job. Don't try and force him/her out. Any decent doctor would tell you the same thing.

Answer

No because it's dangerous. Instead, walk and walk! The baby will come when he/she is ready!

Answer

No way would I ever try that. Way to dangerous!

Answer

Yes it does work, but it is incredibly discouraged as it just irritates your bowels, puts emense pressure on your baby and the labour ward would not look favourably on you for doing it.

Answer

I would talk to your provider. If it gets to the point where they want to induce for medical reasons or because you're 42 weeks, then they can give you guidance in trying more natural induction methods rather than being chemically induced. I know done women have success, but they say not to take more than 2 teaspoons or tablespoons. That's about all I know. Good luck.

Answer

I did. It was the worst thing ever! It tasted awful, the thickness of it was gross, and, it turns out, I didn't even need it. I drank the whole bottle, and immediately went to the bathroom when I was finished, and my water broke right there. If I had just waited another hour I would have found out that I didn't need it at all! And to top it off, the oil made me poop all over the bed all night long at the hospital. So, yeah. Walk. With my second baby, I walked around Walmart for an hour and a half, went pee and lost my mucous plug. Three days later, out came the baby.
