castor oil???
Have any mamas tried castor oil (safely) to induce labor after 38 weeks with success? I am scheduled for induction in 5 days and hate the thought of needing pitocin. I alos haven't had a BM in 4 days 😡😡😡. So I constantly feel sick. Colace is not working at all, neither has prune juice. So hubby and I have both heard of inducing labor with castor oil, with the plus side of it being a natural laxative which I am desperate for. I've read the safest way to take it is 1 tablespoon mixed into a small glass of OJ to avoid terrible diarrhea. So basically we are trying to in essence kill two birds with 1 stone, help me have a BM so I have some relief from this terrible discomfort, and hopefully stimulate natural labor. Any advise and experiences from other moms?? Hubby is at Walgreens as we speak to pick up castor oil. Lol
