NO !!!!!!!
my mother-in-law wanted me to drink it so i asked my nurse about it and she said that it could be dangerous. it is a laxative and will give you diarrhea. this could make you dehydrated which can cause major problems for you and the baby. she said that it was the dehydration that kick-starts your labor. the oil can also pass through the placenta and cause the baby to have a bowel movement. if this happens then the baby will swallow the meconium and this is very dangerous.
play it safe and don't drink it. what if something bad were to happen?

I would say try it but only if you've been kinda constipated (you know almost every woman is towards the end of pregnancy because of the baby sitting on the bowel)
Also, run warm water over your nipples, that makes your body create it's own oxytosin as well as semen on your cervix.
So take a castor oil shot, walk around for a couple hours, warm yourself up in the shower then get even hotter with your man in bed!

I am no longer certain if it is going to quit hair loss however the castor will aid make your hair thicker, the olive oil will aid make it shinier however i'm really not certain approximately the gingerly oil. I DO understand that garlic stops hair loss, take a look at making use of a garlic conditioner

Drink it. The worst that can happen is you have a baby and that's not too bad. Make sure you whir it in a blender with your favorite ice cream and drink it with a straw or you won't be able to gag it down. It just gave me the runs and my water broke a week later but other people say it worked for them. Drink a lot of water so as not to get dehydrated, that could make for a uncomfortable labor.

I know many that have and it within 24 hours threw them into labor.
I told people in my family to try it and it seemed to do the trick.
There are possible complications such as the baby having a bowel movement.(not good)
I have just never seen it cause that problem but don't think it isn't a possibility.
Just be careful and I don't think I would drink the entire bottle...maybe half.
GOOD LUCK!

Let nature decide when your baby arrives...get used to not being able to plan your life down to a fine time line because once the baby arrives, you will not be able to say...this is a free weekend for the baby to be teething, sick, etc...no such thing as perfect timing with a baby in the house

Castor oil is a laxative and the worst that can happen is that you'll get the runs, it won't cause you to go into labour. Safer ways to bring labour on are to walk, or to have sex with your partner. Hormones in the semen will cause your cervix to start to dilate.

Have you ever drank that stuff? It's NASTY. I dont recommend drinking it for ANY reason.
My mom used to make us drink it if we acted like we were sick so we wouldn't have to go to school. Needless to say, my sister and I only did that ONCE each, lol.
