Is castor oil safe??

[ashac22]

I'm 37 weeks and 4 days and I'm so over being pregnant.  Well my cousin keeps telling me to take castor oil . What does castor oil even do?

No, let your baby come when it's ready

It isn't the safest idea. It can cause diarrhea and vomiting which can make you dehydrated. Also it can cause baby to have a bowel movement in utero which is dangerous.

i took castor oil at about week 39 and i took a lot of it one night...castor oil is supposed to give diarhhia,i think, and that supposed to trigger contractions.... didn't work for me..all i got out of it is i puked 3 times and got a really bad pain on my right side..it wasn't appendix..the pain was so bad that we had to go to hospital cause i was crying with pain.. they gave some painkillers and made me stay the night in the hospital :(((( don't take castor oil...please :)

Nothing will help to induce your labor unless you are induced by a doctor. If you are already starting to labor many home induction tips will help speed up the process. Try pineapple maybe(: only fresh and lots of it will do the trick!

I'm with you I'm only 35 weeks and I've been over being pregnant!  But I heard caster oil isn't safe I forget why sorry but try looking it up on google. I'd just stick to walking sex and maybe spicy foods although I'd be careful of the heart burn. Everything I eat makes me have heart burn! But as soon as I'm 36/37 weeks I'm doing what I can to get this baby to come a little early! They say your pretty much full term so good luck and be safe!
