No judging please! So I've been triying everything to start labor. Nothing had worked until today, as my last resort, I took castor oil. My Drm actually said  I could take it. Either I would go in to labor, or get diarrea. Well I took it at 11:30am and had big bowel movement about two hours later. No diarrea. Then about at a. Hour later my contractioms started. I've been having contractions for an hour and a half now   and they are about three minutes appart and last 40 seconds. Sometimes more. I'm really hoping it's not false labor. Im headed to the hospital now! Wish me luch please! Im 39w 1d and sooo ready!

Hi! Im still home. Last night I only went up to 2cm and I still haven't effaced. At least since last night. I was told to go in today to check up on me but I didn't.  My contractions aren't that strong and I'm afraid to get sent back home again. I took a long walk today, squated, had sex, danced...pretty much everything I couldn't think of. I'm hoping for my contractions to get strong again so I can go to the hospital.
I'm sooo axious! The Dr said my contractions where good, but my little guy is still floating and his head is not making too much pressure! I'm going nuts!!!

Any news?

[jen0221]

I wouldn't go to the hospital until contractions are pretty consistent. The longer you are at the hospital the more likely you are to end up in a c-section. Good luck!!!

[llodibingrl]

You aren't effaced at all?

[organicmama]

Good luck hope things start developing soon!

Update... still 1cm and got sent back home again. :'( I'm bleeding a little but since is not too much they said it was normal. My contractions are getting stroger, so I'm not getting any sleep. Hopeflly tomorrow I walk and walk to see if I get to at least 3cm so that they admit me. My cervix wont effave either. Im so desperate.

Thanks for the response, good luck and please keep us updated!

llodibingrl tablespoons. .I mixed it with orange Juice and it wasn't as horrible as I thought. Tastes like chopstick or lipstick.

Thank you ladies. In my way back to the hospital. Feeling horrible pressure like if I have to poop. Let's  see if I dilated more!

[Denise2346]

Good luck hopefully you dilate more

[llodibingrl]

Tablespoons or teaspoons?

Since your water hasn't broken have sex also. It will help speed things along.

Hello. I went to the hospital. I finally dilated 1cm. Not much but better than nothing. They sent me home and told me to walk as much as a could and come back in 4 hours to see if I have dilated to a 3 witch is what I need to be admitted. So I'm gonna walk as much as I can.
I took 2tbs of castor oil btw.
