Castor Oil for CONSTIPATION only?

Question

Help! I’m 34 weeks and two days. I took 4 tablespoons last night, under OB supervision and absolutely nothing happened. I’ve always only had one or no Bowel movements a week my entire life but now it’s impossible to go. I’ve tried stool softeners, fiber, fruit, and I’ve used castor oil before and have went just fine. I finished it at 1:15am, had my baby app today baby is perfect. But no BM still. What’s going on???

Answer

Try milk of magnesium. Weird you doct9r would suggest that type of laxative. Theyre not reccomended during pregnamcy at all.

Answer

Okay but have you tried dried prunes???? 
You cant tell me that doesnt work! Dried prunes, PAPAYA. That should do the trick.

Answer

Get a yoga ball and get on all fours then lean on the yoga ball. Make sure to relax your back but dont let it sag to the front too much. Rock your hips a bunch back and forth and in circles. This helps me a lot with constipation and seems to really loosen things up. I just assume its because baby isn't sitting on my bowels.

Answer

You should take magnesium - not castor oil. 
Either magnesium glycinate or citrate - I forget which one . Ask your doc
