self inducing.,

Any tips, or what has worked for you?.. Ill be having a csection, but would rather go into labor and then have csection. Less worrying, and less stress.. More of a surprise.. Any helpful tips?

when I was pregnant with my first child I drank half bottle of Castro oil at 2pm '& walked 30 minutes started feeling pressure '& at 10pm that night I went into labor because my water broke , never once did it make me have diarherea , just went straight too contractions , but the taste of Castro oil is the worst , even if you mix it with something . Hope it works for you ,

I took caster oil with my son the day before his due date and he came the 22nd of April. Yes it does make you go to the potty but I'm glad took it because I knew I wouldn't have any accidents while pushing! I was numb that I couldn't feel a thing. I say it worked but then again my body was ready I suppose! Good luck. I also walked a lot and had sex...I didn't have contractions until I took the oil. A tablespoon with oj because that stuff is disgusting! Might take it again for this pregnancy as well just to clean out! Lol

Whether castor oil puts me in labor or not, it might be worth it for diaherea.. I go a week to a week and a half without being able to go.. Haha..

I've heard the castor oil only works if u body's ready and also that is causes diarrhea and can make ur stomach hurt real bad I'd never personally try it. Walk a lot have sex bounce on a exercise ball and switch between bouncing and making circular motions on it with ur hips to help the baby drop down and make u dialate. There's also pressure points in ur body to help start contractions Google it they will tell u where and how to massage the area.

Nothing works unless your body is ready for labor unfortunately.
