Opinions on castor oil??? I’m 40 weeks and 3 days.

Question

Answer

If one of your options is don’t do it, not safe...
Then you already know it’s not safe.
Even if there is a 1 in 100 chance it could hurt your baby, is it really worth it?

Answer

I wouldnt

Answer

I did it with my first under my midwives directions. It is unsafe bc it causes you to puke or have diarrhea which causes you to be dehydrated but if you drink double the amount of water that you take in castor oil ans stay hydrated it’s safer. I drank half a bottle of castor oil but drank like 4 bottles of water. Tbh it did not cause diarrhea or puking. And it also did nothing for inducing labor 🙄

Answer

Is the risks worth waiting a few days longer?

Answer

Don’t do it unless you’re under the observation of an OB or midwife - not worth the risks.
