Question

Has anyone had experience with using before? And had luck?!

Accepted Answer

Without meaning to sound too harsh here, I'm currently 41+4 and I'm also absolutely fed up, exhausted, in pain etc
This is my third overdue baby and I'm sick of being overdue (I'm being induced tomorrow -hurrah!)
And again; without meaning to sound like a total bitch - suck it up buttercup and don't risk your baby's life for the sake of a couple of weeks when the result is something you'd have to live with for the rest of your life ...

Answer

Idgaf what you say. You're putting your baby at risk by attempting to make them come before they're ready. This doesn't just make them poo, it makes them poo and they are at a high risk to them swallow said poo. Which in terms lead to medical problems that can become very dangerous very fast.

Answer

So you'd willingly put your baby's life at risk because you're uncomfortable? If it's truly that horrible then ask your doctor to induce properly.

Answer

I'm 37 weeks and also very tired, but keep going mommy, you can do this! The baby will come when it's ready. You've come so far already, birth is literally around the corner! My suggestion is to try some relaxation techniques and distracting activities, just take it one day at a time.  You got this!

Answer

It’s not worth the risk and it may not even work so please don’t do it

Answer

Sex. Sex. Sex. Sperm helps soften the cervix and gets things moving. Every doc or nurse I know begs women not to do the castor oil thing. Yuck.

Answer

I think babies only come when they're ready.  If we do something "that works" I think it is only coincidental.  Hang in there momma. It'll be over soon. 💜

Answer

Castor oil will make you more miserable. You’re gonna shit your brains out like you’ve never shit before. Just rest. Or go on walks while listening to soothing music. Don’t drink castor oil!!!!

Answer

MY DOCTOR actually prescribes it if your body is ready but won't go into full term labor or she gives permission for the "Midwife's brew" which has caster oil in it after 38 weeks. It will not work if the baby is not ready. it does NOT cause your baby to poop. Meconium is actually at risk of being released if you go past 40 weeks of pregnancy. The medical journals and studies were on mother's who were already at full term (at least 40 weeks) and the lungs are fully developed at 38 weeks. Women need to stop putting others down based off of wives tales. Caster oil has been used for generations and many countries still use it today in partnership with labor centers and midwifery. SO STOP!
