Did it work for you ? Any side affects ?

Question

I wanted to know if any moms out there tried to induce labor by drinking the Castor oil ? I’m 39 weeks and miserable and just want my little man here . I know being in pain and always uncomfortable is not a reason to rush him but I can’t take it anymore!☹️ any advice on your experience doing it?

Answer

I've heard it can make the baby poop inside of you.

Answer

I used it with my last pregnancy at 38 weeks after my Aunt said it and had my worked for her. I drank it around 8pm and up at 4am on the toilet. my contractions started pretty bad around 11am and had my daughter at 8 that night. I had not heard of castor oil before using it therefore didn't know about the risks. I'm not using it this time after hearing about what can happen even though nothing wrong happened with myself or baby girl. Honestly pumping and sex are your best options

Answer

I did this at 38 weeks with my daughter. I had got the ok from the doctor to try walking, spicey foods, etc at my appointment. One night I did all of this and nothing. My mom told me they used to use it back in the day so I thought why not. 
Let me just tell you. It was horrible. I did it about 6pm and by 11pm I was sitting on the toilet praying I could stop puking or pooping. Or maybe even just do one or the other. Contractions only lasted 2 hours and then nothing.

Answer

Wouldn’t even consider it until 41 weeks too much risk of sending baby to nicu for meconium exposure.

I did it at 40 weeks. but I only did half of what it told you to do and drank it with orange juice. that night I went into labour.

Answer

My sister did it and she had baby next day, I do agree with the other comment my niece had her first poop while my sister was in labor.
