DO NOT USE CASTOR OIL!!!! It can be very dangerous for your baby. It can cause your baby to have a bowel movement in the womb and can be fatal to the baby. Do not use it! I strongly disagree with using castor oil. Have sex it worked for me!

No the castor oil thing is an old wives tale. It makes you poopy and makes you feel like something is happening. The fact is, with the discomfort you're already in, evidenced by the fact you want to rush the onset of your labor, do you want to be diarrhea-ish on top of that? I don't think so! Don't do it, just walk walk walk and let gravity do its job. I've repeatedly heard sex might work and even if it doesn't it's fun!!
Good luck with baby!

No No No This is an old wives tale. It's just not safe!!!! There is no true way to kick start your labor. Try different things but try not to be too disappointed if nothing you do works. Babies like to have their way and they will start the show when they are good and ready. Good luck and congrats!

eat eggplant. there was a restraunt that had a gaurantee that if a woman in her last couple of weeks of pregnancy ate their eggplant dish, she would go into labor within 24-48 hours. apparently it works a lot. i ate eggplant when i was pregnant with my daughter and my water broke the next night. i ate it with my son and i started having contractions a couple of days later. dont know if it was coincidence or the eggplant.
but as for caster oil, that will just give you the runs and make you feel horrible.

PLEASE do NOT TRY CASTOR OIL!!
Only thing that will happen is you will get sick .
Try a bumpy car ride-- it worked for me...I asked hubby to do that and 4am that same night my water broke!
I tried all sorts of yucky things with my second one -- spicy food ( got sick) macaroni and cheese with soy sauce (got sick) you get the picture. Just let nature take its course or try things that are not potentially harmful to you or baby . Good Luck!
