Does it really work?

From what I understand it works. However, if you want to poop yourself to death go right ahead. I suggest you have sex, walk, whatever. Please don't do the castor oil thing.

I did it before I became an RN, and now I would never recommend it. I did NOT induce my labor - however it made me sicker than a dog. Don't drink it, it will put more stress on the baby and labor will be more difficult if it DOES induce you, which that's not a guarantee. Let it work on it's own time.... You don't want to induce labor before your baby's ready.... And he/she will come when it's time....

yes I tried it, and NO it did not work. I have never gotten the memory of that awful taste out of my mind or mouth either!!! DO NOT DO IT!!!! My dr suggested intercourse, because the male sperm carries pitocin which is used to induce labor, that actually worked...within three hours I was in hard labor and on my way to the hospital.

castor oil works as a laxative in the upper gi tract, so the contrations it causes there can induce labor, i wouldnt suggest trying it without consulting your obgyn, but it can work

And he/she will be able to go back even as that is time....

People ask this atleast three times a day.
I dont believe it does. It can result in dehydration and a sour stomach.
Try using your breast pump for a couple hours, it works quite well.
