My sister said it worked for her and she ended up going in labor that night. My doctor also suggested it to me in my last week of pregnancy because i wasn't dilating. Try it you never know...beware of the fact that it may not work and will only give you the sh*ts. Take it with orange juice

The uterus is a smooth muscle, and caster oil relaxes smooth muscle. If your body is ready to go into labour, this could be what finally does it. It worked for my first pregnancy, however I would never do it again. I since found out that because it's a laxative, it can travel to the baby ,and cause the baby to have a bowel movement as well. You've probably heard of this. It's dangerous for the baby, because they can inhale the meconium and cause serious infection. There are natural ways to stimulate labour. Intercourse is one because semen has oxytosin in it. Nipple stimulation releases oxytosin as well. As hard as it is to wait, it's probably the best thing. I would seriously discourage the use of caster oil though. Why take the chance.

The only thing that castor oil is going to do--is make you sicker than you have ever been-----just wait your baby will come when it is ready...do not do anything to jeopardize your baby's health!
Try walking every day...this will speed you up some...
