I am starting to get sick of being uncomportable all the time. we have tried so much to help bring my labour on and even the sex bit. I was told by many people that If i were to have sex that I would go into labour that night. Still nothing. The walking hurts lots. My knees ach from squatting. I get heartburn with spicy food. So the only other thing I really havent tried yet was the castor oil. I was told that it will work and I was wonder if any know of any information or where I can find information on it. I can take the pain anymore.

I answered a question about this before and got the thumbs down sign. I took castor oil and had my daughter that night. But I was informed that it could interfere with the natural progression of labor and shouldn't be done. The doctor will usually induce you if you are a week overdue so I would just hang in there.. Goodluck..

I know what you are going through. Carrying my last son was hard. I had sicatic nerve pain, couldn't bend over at all, dehydrated all the time and sick and in severe pain in my back and in my legs. I can tell you from experience that Castor oil does not work. I was on strict bed rest the last month of pregnancy and I couldn't take it any more, so I told my doctor to induced me two weeks early and seeing the pain I was in since I was 4 months pregnant she agreed without argument. I am not sure if telling her that I would take the baby out myself did the trick or the documentation throughout my pregnancy of hospital stays and prescriptions for pain meds because of the severe pain. The only thing that the oil did was make me even more sick. I hope this helps.

As a mother of 6 and the last 4 being 16 months apart the castor oil helped everytime but you had better be "empty" because it is a natural laxative and it will clean you out without pushing and when you push, with the oil you will leave a mess ,and it aint perty Hope this can help.

It doesn't work. You need to sit down put your feet up. Either get a good book, or put in a movie that you really love and get lost in. It's time to relax and let nature take its course. Nothing you do will hurry this child to see the world. My heart goes out to you. I know how uncomfortable you are feeling, but just relax, been there done that 5 times.

I wouldn't use the oil unless your doc advises it. And even then if he/she were to advise they would probably just induce labor. It will be over soon...keep walking and having sex!
