Castor oil to induce labor?

Question

Has anyone taken castor oil to induce their labor? Does it actually work and how much did you take? I’m 38 weeks and dilated 1cm, my baby girl is taking over and I want my body back to myself now lol.

Answer

No. This is a dangerous and outdated method. It can cause your baby to have a BM inside you and that can result in serious complications or death.

Answer

No. It can harm the baby and has the potential to kill them. Please don’t do it - it’s not worth it, and I promise you won’t be pregnant forever. Your discomfort for a few more days/weeks isn’t worth risking your child.

Answer

DONT DO IT!! It can make your baby have a bowel movement

Answer

Have seen many babies end up in the NICU because of it. Not safe.

Answer

nope.

Answer

No, no, no. I don’t care who’s done and who it’s worked for. It is NOT worth your baby’s life. Please do NOT take castor oil. So, so dangerous.

Answer

I did it with my first pregnancy and it didn’t do anything! It just made my stomach bubbly. I wouldn’t recommend it since it doesn’t usually work, and it can cause the baby to have a bowel movement in uterus.

Answer

well i did it and let me tell you! it did help induce labor with in 2 hrs BUT it make my labor oh so much worse I literally couldn't quit pooping i was afraid to push my contractions were 4x worse from actual contractions and then the bubbly ness of the castor oil it was by far the worst decision i ever made and will not be doing it with this one! plus I felt selfish because Drs found out and got on my ass about it and told me how sick it could of gotten my baby
