Keep in mind that castor oil can cause diahrea! Do you really want to have diahrea as your pushing a baby out? Try walking up stairs, bouncing/rocking on an exercise ball, raspberry leaf tea, evening primrose oil, nipple stimulation (i read that can cause longer and more painful contractions so I'm personally not up to try that), sex (don't use a condom, the sperm is what makes you go into labor), eating FRESH (not canned) pineapple/kiwi/mango

I hear you I have 14 days left so tempted too try something but I know as well as these other ladies the longer he cooks the healthier he will be you have gone 8.5 months you can go 2 more weeks. But if you are going to try something I heard eating a fresh pineapple works, sex, walking,  yoga ball. Never tried caster oil

My doctor told me intercourse, walking, and nesting are good ways to start labor

I hear you. I'm over being pregnant and I've got 29 days to go. I wouldn't take the castor oil as there's some bad side effects.
