Believe it or not, using castor oil can bring on labor. It contracts your intestines to make you have a bowel movement. This in turn can cause you to have contractions and bring on labor. There are other ways to relieve constipation. You could try stool softeners, or sennakot. The best thing is to talk with your doctor or midwife, they can suggest things for you to try. Good Luck!

You need to talk to your doctor about that. There are few things you can take for constipation. Castor oil would make you sick so I wouldn't try that. Why not try some prune juice. That usually does the trick.

I took castor oil at 39weeks and gave start to a sprint one at 39wks 6days who had meconium aspiration syndrome. It grew to become into greater, he were sitting in his poop for those complete 6 days - he grew to become into born flat, resuscitated and then placed in an incubator in huge care on oxygen. He purely approximately died. the concern with castor oil is certain it makes you poop, yet theres a danger it's going to make bub poop too (it quite is what got here approximately to me) I did use 2 tablespoons regardless of the undeniable fact that, no longer teaspoons. i does not take the possibility - because of the fact I experienced the worst available effect from it. i will continuously warn different expectant mothers against it - i'd in no way desire all people to pass by using what I did. My son is a healthful 2 12 months old right this moment - yet whilst he grew to become into born - even the docs could no longer tell me if he would stay or die (and being born flat meant much less oxygen to the suggestions, so I had to attend to ensure if there grew to become into any suggestions injury) i desire to advise 3-4 kiwi fruit. Works like a charm! loads of water may additionally help flush out your bowels. reliable success

Castor oil may be too harsh. I would suggest something more gentle like Philips Milk of Magnesia.
