I took it with both of my kids. It worked with the first one. Even though I was dilated to 7 cm with my 2nd it did not work, and I had her a week later. I told my doc that I was going to do it, and he laughed. He said it will not hurt anything, so I did it. If the baby is ready, you will likely go into labor. Try it if you are ready to get this baby here, but yes you will spend the next few hours on the pot.

Don't do it, just let nature take it's course. When the baby is ready to come he/she will come. Castor oil from what I have heard will give you a bad case of the runs and stomach cramps.

That's a personal decision. I'm facing the same dilemma actually as well. If you're far enough along so that the baby isn't premature, I'd say go for it if you want to. Don't let ANY ONE tell you what to do unless your Dr. advises it for the good of your child. I have had a few friends who've done it and everything worked out beautifully. Good luck!

Cetainly not! Castor oil will just give you all the wrong sorts of cramps which may mask what's going on in your labour, and won't achieve anything else. And it could be very dangerous too!

If you don't care to poop your brains out, then go for it. I took it once and it didn't induce my labor, it just made me spend hours on the toilet. Plus it tastes like s***.
A lot of people will tell you it's dangerous because it can make your baby poop before it's born. I don't know about that for sure, all I know is that it's nasty and I won't ever drink it again.

All I have to say is this:
If you want to take it, ask your doctor what their opinion is of it first, and take their recommendations to heart (I strongly suspect any doctor worth their salt will NOT condone doing this). Hopefully you'll trust your doctor's opinions if you don't trust all the knowledgable people here who are telling you it won't work and that there are risks for complications.

EVERY TIME I GOT UP TO WALK AWAY, MORE POOPIE WAS ON ITS WAY OUT!!!

GOOD LUCK!!
