How labor started w/ or w/o castor oil

I took 2tbls of castor oil earlier today. Those of u who have babies, did contractions start with harsh pains or mild ?
  I am having about 7 min apart contractions that are painful like a period but I can't talk still thru it.  Not unbearable.. Experiences?
Oh and I am due tomorrow.

I tried it last week started off with mild contractions went to bed woke up hour and half later with really strong painful contractions 3 minutes apart. No diarrhea just a ton of pain and pressure. However ended up with 2 trips to l&d, a whole day in pain and didn't even thin out or dilate anymore than I already was. Hope it works for you, good luck.

My labor started slow with castor oil.  Just noticeable contractions to start then much stronger and 3 minutes apart within 5 hours.
