Did anyone drink midwives brew to help send them into labor?

Question

Curious to hear your stories!

Answer

Yeah, who WOULDN'T want to risk killing their baby out of a selfish desire to get out of a few extra weeks of pregnancy. Your comfort is more important than your baby's life, obviously. 
Every time I see this question posted anonymously, I feel so sad for your poor babies. Posting anonymously proves that you know it's dangerous and you're going to be judged for it. Someone who truly doesn't know the risks is not going to post anonymously. 
Is there a reason you're posting an anonymous poll about medical advice on an app full of strangers instead of asking your doctor? Could it be because you already know your doctor would advise against it?

Answer

Heck no. Castor oil is dangerous. Can cause baby to poop in utero and cause respiratory problems and or death. It is not worth it.

Answer

Hell no. Not worth risking babies life.

Answer

Absolutely not

Answer

No. But! I did a labor workout exercise and went into labor the 2nd day of doing the exercises! It was about 10 mins of stretching and yes it worked without risking my babies health.

Answer

I’ve seen women on this app post about losing babies to this so no. It’s not worth it.

Answer

My sister did and apparently it worked . However I tried to warn her to NOT drink it as the risks are not worth it . I was too late in warning her because I was getting notified after the fact . I don’t get the point of drinking that . My daughter pooped in the womb and swallowed  it along with some fluid . She came out blue, hardly breathing ,and wouldn’t make a sound . Thinking i was going to lose my baby was an awful feeling and looking back on that memory still hurts my heart . Luckily they were able to get the fluid out and she is a beautiful little 1.5 year old . This happened from a stressful labor and the cord being around  her neck . If something is known to cause babies harm and known to cause this , why risk it? Whether your OB okays it or not . Not all drs have your best interest at heart and honestly some shouldn’t even be drs . I don’t think it’s worth it .

Answer

Like everyone else has said, just no to castor oil.
