Castor oil ?

Question

I have heard that consuming castor oil during last months of pregnancy helps delivery .... in sense that it lubricates your passage way...
Is it true ? .... has anyone tried natural oils or something like it ?

Answer

No it just causes gastrointestinal upset, which causes you to go into labor... don't do it. It's very dangerous many women have stillborn babies because of it. Just do yourself a favor and wait an extra few days for baby to come on their own. In the grand scheme, it's not that long. There's plenty of other things to do.

I had my baby a week early & I walked like nobody's business, I drank raspberry leaf tea (as well as some other tea from Teavana that the manager said would help), I bounced on my yoga ball, I had sex... all these things (I believe) totally worked. Do your baby a favor & skip the castor

I drank heaps and heaps of cinnamon tea, walked a lot, ate pineapple and had a stretch and sweep at 39weeks. Dd came naturally at 41 weeks.

Answer

I've heard mixed reviews on it. Not sure if I would risk it.

Answer

I tried it with my second born. Now I've learned that it could possibly cause the baby to poop, and actually ingest it, causing major problems. It sent me into labor pretty quick, I had major diarrhea. Was in labor for 18hrs.
