don't take any more. It is not going to help, was this your idea or your Dr's?
You are going to have that baby when it is ready or Dr. decides to induce you, period.
These home remedies only tend to make you more uncomfortable. Trust me on this one. Congrads on your up coming healthy baby!

Castor oil doesn't necessarily give you diarrhea - it can be a stool softner to help you go to the bathroom.
Do not take more oil.
