does anyone know about taking caster oil to bring labour on?

Answer 1

Yes and dont bother. It can be harmful to mother and baby - will give the mother the runs and can often make baby have a bowel movement whilst in the womb which is dangerous. Baby will come when nature intended but if you must try something then stick to Raspberry leaf tea - though the best action of all is to have sex - sperm contains a chemical that induces labour xxxx

Answer 2

A friend of mine herd that drinking caster oil does bring on the labour, well it didn't for her. I was really unsure about her drinking it as it smelt disgusting. She said it tasted awfull and she was gagging the whole time she was trying to drink it. She was sick for 2 days later and had no effect of bringing on her labour.
Different things work for different people tho. its not suppost to harm either you or the baby so good luck if you try it. I've herd drinking raspberry tea helps. Just go for the curry and a good portion of sex.
Good luck xx

Answer 3

When I was expecting my eldest (who is 33 now) the standard treatment used in hospitals to try to induce labour without drugs was the OBE - Oil (castor oil), Bath, and Enema.

Utterly grim and barbaric - believe me, I know all about it!

When I was expecting my youngest (now 19) I went all modern, and tried the CWS treatment - a curry, a glass of wine, and a good hard sh*g.

This was much more enjoyable!

It also worked - I went into labour a few hours later.........but that might have been coincidence :-)

Answer 4

DEAR GOD DONT DRINK A WHOLE BOTTLE!!!

My friend did that and all that happened was she got the runs. I wouldnt bother, i think its all wives tales, I went through the suffering of drinking raspberry leaf tea, hot curries and even 42 week gone sex! I was 2 weeks late so I really don't think that anything is really certain to bring on labour, good luck though!

Answer 5

I tried it and it doesnt work unless your body is ready to go into labor, It made me have terrible bowel cramps and kept me on the toliet most of the night, but still didnt have any contractions. Also it can make the baby have a bowel movement which is called meconium which can be fatal if the baby swallows it....So just be patient walk and have sex this is safer and works better.

Answer 6

rasberry leaf tea is only safe to induce labour after 38 weeks other wise it can cause indigestion and be painfull.
but it is good. you need to drink about 4 cups a day though. a box of 20 tea bags is about £1.20 from you nearest holland and barrett

Answer 7

That is something they used to do, probably still do in some hospital's in SA. Usually to make your stomach work before giving birth it also helps bring the birth forward but the main reason is to make your stomach work. Instead of giving enema's.

Answer 8

DON'T do it!! You will only get sick, diahrea and vomiting. It 97% of the time will not bring on labor. Try using accupressure points and relaxing some. Also sex works well.

Answer 9

I had a pal do this once she suggested it did no longer do something. the subject is the newborn is going to come again while that's able to come again. the only way you will desire to come earlier is to pass get led to on the scientific institution, in spite of the undeniable fact that the newborn would desire to no longer be waiting, so as that would desire to no longer be the perfect theory. I led to considered one of my little ones as quickly as and she or he saved me up each and every nighttime. she even saved me up till 7 am as quickly as. She became the only one that I led to and she or he became the only that gave me the main issues at nighttime.
