Castor oil success stories!?! 40 weeks

Question

Castor oil success stories!?! 40 weeks! I’m having contractions but not close tons of cervix pressure baby is engaged and I’m 2 cm dilated

Answer

As your doctor for a membrane sweep. No risk. Castor oil can have extremely dangerous effects. I got a membrane sweep at 40w1d and went into labor that night.

Answer

No. I'm an nurse... DONT DO IT. I've seen babies aspirateand die from ingesting maternal poop during delivery. NOOOOOOOO not worth it . Plus do you really want to have diarrhea potentially while pushing out a baby?? No you do not

Answer

castor oil can cause extreme complications including infant loss. that risk alone is the reason I stayed far away from that. baby will come when they are ready as annoying to hear as that is it's true.

Answer

I considered doing castor oil as well bc I was convinced my baby would never come out. Decided to have an acupressure massage instead and that started my labor the very next day! I would try this over castor oil for sure

Answer

I tried it twice with my first baby. It gave me a few irregular contractions then they went away. I heard that it works on 57% of women.

Answer

i would only take it if your a day from induction anyways since pitocin and the other drugs they give you at the hospital are worse for you and baby..
